RE: ifs delete

Not true. I've deleted PTF images and the space comes back right away. Last time was about 20gb.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the space for an IFS file wasn't actually recovered to the system until the directory that used to contain the file was deleted or one of the customary space-recovering actions was taken like an IPL or RCLSTG.

Since it doesn't exist anymore, how do I check?

Rob, some sort of a lock on it??

Well, it's now been a few hours since the delete and the space is still
used.

Yesterday I checked the "In Use" via iNav. It was used by some of the
jobs in this subsystem:
Curren
Subsystem/Job User
NOTES01 QSYS
ADMINP QNOTES
AMGR QNOTES
AMGR QNOTES
AMGR QNOTES
AMGR QNOTES
CALCONN QNOTES
CLDBDIR QNOTES
CLREPL QNOTES
...

So I set the debug flag off. During the night all jobs were ended when
the server "bounced". And new jobs were started.
Change date/time on the stream file was yesterday prior to the bounce.

I even ended iNav, and my 5250 session. That seemed to have no effect.

iNav doesn't incorporate some sort of "Recycle bin" does it?

Space will actually be released when the job closes the file.

Recycle that job if possible; problem will disappear.

Just ran a RTVDSKINF and a PRTDSKINF this morning.

Information collected . : 10/07/10 04:05:48

TOTAL 99.95 6345666.36

Based on this then % used should be 100 - 41.87 or 58.13%.
I noticed a 363GB debug stream file (it was a Scan Mail for Domino
thing).
I turned off that debugging and deleted it using iNav. I verified,
via
WRKLNK, it is gone. I am thinking that should have freed up 363/6357
or
5.7%, right? Results of DSPSYSSTS
System ASP . . . . . . : 6348 G

We don't use any IASP's or other ASP's.
