Run another RTVDSKINF. Perhaps someone cleaned up some stuff.

Both were run on profiles with ALLOBJ so it should be fine.

Any chance you are running your analysis under a profile which has different authority than the one which ran RTVDSKINF? And maybe it doesn't have access to some of the information?

It was run today:
Information collection start . . . . . . : 30/03/22 10:16:56

User libraries 55.35 1098865.44
User directories 30.86 612665.26

User directories has grown from 18% to 30% and I can't find what exactly I mean which folders/files.

If you look at the report generated by PRTDSKINF, is the date/time in "Information collection start . . . . . . :" recent? If not, that would explain why there is a discrepancy. Rerun RTVDIRINF then.

Hi,

I think I have stuck and I need some help.
PRTDISKINFO is showing that 30% of our 2TB disk is eaten by "User Directories".
This is almost 600 Gigs.
I've used few different methods (old IFSTOOLS, running call qsrsrv parm("METRICS" '/' "EPFS") and RTVDIRINF and all of those shows like 65 Gb of files.
I've checked '/tmp' and some other directories and can't find what is eating all that space.

I have not tried yet object_statistics as it was taking ages, I could not figure out how to optimize it.
