Re: Disk 99% full, what to do?

["IGS Ang" <igsang@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
