RE: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 16, Issue 1317

We had a similar issue a few years ago. Our backups were starting to take
longer than the allowed time. In my search to figure out what was going on I
found an IFS folder with thousands of log files. We cleaned out the log
files and shaved 1/2 hour off the backups the next night (Save 21 every
night). I found a cleanup program that we run on a monthly basis. We had to
make a few modifications for our needs, but I show that I grabbed the
original program from source url:
http://iprodeveloper.com/database/clean-files-ifs-directory. Just thought
that might be helpful to you (rather than reinventing the wheel).

In the shell itself, du -sk will give you (d)isk (u)sage including
(s)ubdirs [of the current working directory, wherever you are] in
[k]ilobytes.

Is there an easy way to determine disk space usage from the IFS by
directory and subdirectory? I recently migrated a customer and the IFS
restore took forever. Found out that one directory of the IFS had over
7.9 million log files.

I used the RTVDIRINF and PRTDIRINF commands but the report was over
100k pages as it details every subdirectory. The files the RTVDIRINF
created (QAEZD0001O and QAEZD0001D) did not have the directory names
in readable form.

Looking for # of objects and total size by directory and sub-directory.
