Thanks for the tips... 
I've got the regular logging set to minimum, but will check...

Regarding disk usage: 

Run this command sequence:

#   To list values for logging
    for i in `vxlogcfg -l -p 51216| grep -v ist`
    do
    echo $i >> /tmp/current.vxlog.config
    vxlogcfg -l -p 51216 -o $i >> /tmp/current.vxlog.config
    done

Review what is in the /tmp/current.vxlog.config file - especially the
value for the log directory - like "LogDirectory = /usr/openv/logs/" -
check there for files.

Also check the DiagnosticLevel and the DebugLevel, and your log recycle
parameters.

If there are files there, these commands can help:
You may want to run this command ( I run it from cron periodically):

vxlogmgr -d -a -q

Some systems so not clear the logs, you have to tell it to...

My Solaris system was saving a ton of these logs before I started
manually purging them, even though I had configured them to roll.

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
