Albert,

On more recent OS releases, there are a lot of temporary objects that you
cannot see related to temporary indexes and database support objects. If you
re-IPL, these objects are removed, and you can regain disk space - albeit
temporarily until they are rebuilt by the OS. Of course, depending on your
OS release, this may be severe - on a larger system recently, this was
estimated to be over 60GB.

The question to be asked is how much space is 'reclaimed' if you re-IPL?

I have a 170 which has 60 GB of available disk space. It currently shows 7%
available. However, when I list every objects on the system and add up their
sizes, it only adds up to 28 GB. Can anyone tell me what is using the rest of
the disk space?

Thanks,

Albert
