Hi

Yesterday my TSM server (p500 LPAR AIX 5.3) had the TSM Logs run out of
space. In hind sight, the Server was bounced and I now have  fsck running
forever almost as if in a loop. At present it would take days as the
filesystem concerned is 1.150TB.

Apparently we need to patch the OS as the FSCK gets into a loop, and has to
complete the checks of the superblocksbefore it can be mounted. This
filesystem contains my DISKPOOLS.

My questions are/

1. Will any clients that normally go to DISPOOL now automatically go to
overflow until the filesystem comes backup.
2. what is the recommended max filesystem size to prevent this long FSCK.
3. Is there any other way to resolve this long wait for the check to
complete.

Regards

Adrian Compton
