Re: V6R1 Disk Space Growth

You've already received the good advice about RTVDIRINF/PRTDIRINF. 
Although I will caution you on some machines (that normally kick some 
serious butt) it can run for hours and hours.  They do much stupid stuff. 
May even check QNTC.  Running them in debug shows the worlds worst SQL 
utilization by PRTDIRINF.

I've seen up to 30% of the entire disk used by 
/QIBM/UserData/OS400/MGTC/service  You can verify that with Jeff Crosby. I 
think he saw 18%.

What would be nice is a drill down into the files created by RTVDIRINF. 
Like the size sorting and drill down of:

Object Link            Type          Size
Z                     DIR         2197845723
NOTES01               DIR         1982237961
QIBM                  DIR          432105265
...

Click on NOTES01 and see it's subdirectories and stream files sorted by 
size.  Drill down into one directory and see it's subdirectories and 
stream files sorted by size...

iNav has potential but has some fundamental flaws.
1 - The screen doesn't display size for directories in the list in the 
right panel.
2 - iNav cannot handle large file sizes.  For instance, I can right click 
on a directory and get it's properties.  Storage tab will show Total data 
size.  I've seen this be as low as half of what is reported in PRTDIRINF. 
Independent IFS tools are closer to PRTDIRINF.  IBM declared this a 
documented limitation.
