All I can say is that the dsmfmt simply writes "Eric" over and over and
over again...

If things grind to a halt, it is probably, simply due to the I/O to the
drive/raid array/filesystem

Does anyone know of or had problems with formatting additional space for
diskpools ?

TSM server : AIX 5.1 ML3 64-bit enabled. 2GB memory 2 cpu H80

Disk type : 6 member raid set about 700 GB

JFS2

Trying to format 100gb diskpool. Each time I have tried it brings the TSM
server to almost a stand still. TSM is up on the box but nothing is running
during 8 hours of the format. Should be more than enough time to format
100gb of space.

Any ideas ?
