Re: Is there a quick way to see what is filling up the disk?

Hi

If you are using journaling that's always a prime contender if a process
has run amok
WRKOBJ *ALL/*ALL *JRNRCV
if you have tons of them that might be a pointer.

If you did a WRKACTJOB while th disk was filling up sorting on IO can
sometimes give you an idea of the culprit (too late now, I know).

I agree. I wish there was a fast way to at least get the overview that
RTVDSKINF / PRTDSKINF will give you. But there doesn't seem to be.
Trying to "guess" if it's in spool files, etc will have you wasting more
time than running RTVDSKINF will take.

We had one of those 'three mile island' situations, where the disk went
from 58% to 98% quickly.
This is always someone internal causing this, not a customer.
So we checked active jobs and did not see anything that was running that
was eating up the disk.
So possibly the job finished, and now we have a needle in the haystack
situation.
I know you can do a RTVDSKINF but is there a quick way to see if there is
a humongous file out there somewhere?
Even the new web based navigator does not show library size when you drill
into IFS/QSYS.
Yes it could be something writing to a folder also. I see you can sort the
root by size in navigator, that may help.
Thanks.
