Thanks.. I don't suppose there is any way to go back and find out what

was

causing the problem.

If performance collection was enabled, you can try to investigate
performance data using Navigator for i. However, as you are running
V7R4, you will probably have to deal with the new flavor of Navigator
and because of that, I cannot give you more detail about how to to dit,
sorry.

PS, I also removed old PTFs and am down to 37% full now. I guess I was
slacking there.

Brad,

This happened to me twice.
The first time it was an application error, where a journal was being
copied to QTEMP, but it was looping.
The second was when an ambitious accountant attempted an SQL cartesian

join

on 2 very large files, again results were being gathered in QTEMP. I

fixed

that by setting QQAQINI - STORAGE_LIMIT.

So, I had an interesting day. On V7R4 on my system. Normally sits

around

50% full for disk.

Got a few alerts saying storage was running out. Did a WRKSYSSTS and

it

was at 97%. I couldn't find any jobs running, eating up CPU, etc...

so I

just did an IPL.

Everything is back to normal now. At 50% disk again.

Disk space:
System storage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :

418759M

System storage used . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :

48.34%

What the heck could that have been? A runaway temp job of some sort

that

was cleaned up when I IPL'd?
