Yes, but it doesn't directly explain the situation.
But I can infer from it that since my devclass had been set at 50G and
I did not have large file enabled on AIX,
that it hit the 2GB limit. The percentage of usage on each volume
appears to comfirm this.

Have you reviewed the Technotes on the ANR8785E message relative to
your configuration?

Problem
The volume size for a FILE volume is less than the Maxcapacity defined
for the Devclass.
ANR8785E received writing to a FILE volume on TSM server.

Solution
TSM does not preallocate the space for a sequential volume when writing
to a devclass
of type FILE.

TSM begins writing to the filesystem, and when the maxcapacity value
for the devclass
is reached, TSM will close the file and begin a new volume. If TSM
finishes writing to
a volume prior to reaching the maxcapacity value, the volume size will
reflect how
much space TSM used, not the maxcapacity value. This is why some FILE
devclass volumes may be smaller than the maxcapacity value.

Since TSM does not preallocate the space for a sequential volume with
FILE devclass,
it is possible for TSM to fill a filesystem before reaching the
maxcapacity value for
the devclass. This will result in an out-of-space condition on the
filesystem, and
TSM will display the message:

ANR8785E Out-of-space in file system for FILE volume /tsm/xxxxxx.xxx.

Ensure that adequate space exists in the filesystem if this error
occurs. TSM will fail the process that was writing to the FILE volume
when an out of space condition occurs.
