Nothing Good will Happen on 6.1.
I finally got a production system stable on 6.1.3 by disabling reorgs, but that 
was Windows.
I wouldn't even think of doing it on Linux.

Hi,

do not use TSM server 6.1, not even if you have no other options. 6.1 does not 
even begin to approach alpha quality software. IBM should never have shipped 
it. I can't think of a single good reason to install 6.1. Go with 6.2.3 or 
newer or 6.3 something.
