Re: Disk 99% full, what to do?

Hello All,

Thanks for all the replies. It's my customer box, with 500GB. It was
90% 2 days ago. They have loaded in DataPropagator (5722DP4) yesterday
and they space utilization suddenly shot up to 99%. That is like 50GB
increased in a day! They are totally clueless what had gone wrong.

It's night time over here in ASIA, and i shall be going onsite
tomorrow to further check if they have journalling turn on and etc. By
deleting historical files and applying ptf perm. would help to an
extent which i would be able to turn on diskinfo.

Really appreciate everybody's input here. I shall keep you guys
updated on my findings.

regards,
Daniel

You might look for some usual suspects. You might not have the space
to do a DSPOBJD *ALL/*ALL *ALL OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) which is useful for
determining the large items - similar to disk information.

1. If you have a command line, see if you have a lot of files
starting with QHST*

WRKF QHST*

You can probably delete old ones - the bit after QHST is the Julian
date plus a sequence character.

2. Then there might be journal receivers - especially related to the
audit journal. Try

DSPOBJD *ALL/*ALL *JRNRCV

to an outfile if you can, or to the screen.

3. WRKOBJPDM QRPLOBJ and clear it out

4. IFS objects - you can execute EDTF '/' - then put a 6 on the
directories whose size you want to know about - I suggest you do NOT
do this with QIBM or QSYS.LIB!!

Once you get some room, you might consider getting the disk/HUNTER
product from Centerfield Technologies (www.centerfieldtechnology.com)
that would have warned you far ahead of this situation. I used to
work there, so this is not a vendor response.
