[Veritas-bu] HPUX catalog images are huge

Greetings,

I just found out that a new 6.5.1 installation I set up in Singapore filled up the database. The new database file system is 3x larger than the 5.0 server this replaced. We did a new server installation and not an upgrade migration so the database was clean.

When I went looking at the disk usage I found most of the disk space being used by images on 3 hpux servers. Two of the servers are network clients and the other is an Enterprise client backing up over the SAN. The space used by the hpux Enterprise client is 5x the amount of space used by a linux Enterprise client with roughly the same amount of storage and used inodes. The linux box is probably the more heavily used system and should have a similar rate of change, if not more, than the hpux servers.

The sizes were roughly 9 gig for the linux client and 45 gig on the hpux client. This includes compressing data after 15 days. The old 5.0 database file system was only a 40 gig file system and everything fit using compression after 30 days. This means my image usage has increased by about 6X

The only changes that I know were made between the old environment and the new is that TIR with move detection was implemented. This was applied to all clients and not just hpux. Other than that, everything else is the same.

Any ideas why the hpux images are so large?

Thanks,

Jeff
