Re: Trend release dated April 02, 2007

I have found that there are a couple directories in the IFS (other than 
the usual Domino) that can eat up disk space.
I have also found that using iNav to search these directories because it 
becomes easier to sort by changed date, etc.
Clearing out old files in each domino partition's IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT 
directory under the server's data directory is a good start.
Then,  /QIBM/UserData/OS400/MGTC/service.  Purging these old Management 
Central traces freed up 30% of my disk on one 705GB server!  Others have 
had similar occurrences.  Wouldn't you like to free up three 70GB drives? 
Especially right after you just talked the boss into buying a new raid 
card and four new drives.
Then, if you are running Trend, go to your Domino workspace, right click 
on the virus encyclopedia (smency.nsf).  Select Database, Go to, All Docs. 
 Delete any Replication/Save conflicts.

After that, it's down to running 
RTVDSKINF then PRTDSKINF *SYS.
and
RTVDIRINF and PRTDIRINF.  Although these DIR combo's need a lot of work. I 
have IBM redesigning them.  Like, who gives a good GD about disk used in 
QNTC, etc?  Any why does PRTDIRINF take days to run on a 570 that is bored 
and terribly underutilized.  If you want an example of how NOT to do SQL 
then run these programs under debug and see the nasty stuff they do in 
sql.  But other partitions run just fine.
