Re: Managing IFS object space

Loyd

s4I has a product - disk/HUNTER - used to belong to Centerfield Technology - I wrote much of it in the early days.It does have an IFS component - at one time it did a walk through the entire IFS tree - could be very slow. I don't know if s4I has made any changes to it. We were looking at different ways to handle IFS changes - never got to that while I was at Centerfield. And the OS did not have all the tools we needed, IIRC.

The product periodically checks free space on DASD - very low CPU hit - and when that free space drops by a percentage or amount, the HUNTER goes looking for why - and this CAN include IFS - it's an option we used to turn off, usually. It did do a PEX trace, and that might report IFS objects being written to. It's been awhile - heh.

And, no, I don't work for s4I either - heh!

How do you manage IFS object growth? Which reports do you run to trend
disk usage, runaway folders, etc? Anything besides RTVDIRINF and
PRTDIRINF?
