That's the only thing I can think of, too
(other than logs, but that would be more of a gradual increase than all
at once, I would think).
Keep in mind that catalog compression
will keep the catalog compressed until someone needs to search that data,
such as for a restore or bplist. The image will then be expanded. If you
have someone doing restores that could be contributing to the problem,
especially if the image is huge. It would also account for the apparent
randomness of it.

You're a good shot when it's dark!
yes, I see the Compress Catalog
Interval checked and set for 2 days.
This doesn't happen every two
days, though; makes me wonder if it may happen after some many backups,
or a set amount backed up...
Thanks

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
