Just a shot in the dark, but have you enabled image compression? We have servers with millions of tiny files that produce huge images files (5GB+) and compressing those into a .tgz might chew up a fair amount of space before the original image gets deleted.

Hey all -

Just wondering if anyone has run into this.

We've set up our /usr/openv (/veritas) filesystem on a separate filesystem about 300GB in size.

Right now, we're down to about 60Gb free, and I've been receiving low diskspace alerts.

It seems that there is something chewing up about 20-30GB of space in this filesystem on a sporadic schedule.

Looks like it generally happens 2-3 times a week, and I've discovered that it's been happening for a while after some research.

Normally it's not an issue, but since we're getting down to low available free space, it's become an issue.

I'm wondering if anyone has come across a netbackup process that would do this?

When it was occuring yesterday, I searched for large files, and found none, so it must be a lot of small files accumulating.

We're running NB 6.5.6.
Thanks in advance for any input!

Dan K
