Mark : thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try !

Ted : as per TSM help : The environment variable,
DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR, specifies the directory where the accounting
file is located. Now I know this, but as said before, forgot to
reactivate accounting ...

Once a month, run

  cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin
  compress dsmaccnt.log
  mv dsmaccnt.log.Z <filesystem_with_more_space>/dsmaccnt.log.Z.`date
+%Y%M`

This will give you compressed accounting files by year and month.
