RE: New machine, Critical storage condition exists.

["Dan Kimmel" <dkimmel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There was a time when deleting the directory that held all the files you
deleted would give back the space. Not sure if that still works. You
just mkdir the directory back again after you remove it.

It looks like RCLSTG has a *DIR option which I *believe* is for IFS
files, though I couldn't say for sure.

I tried to get the machine into a restricted state so I could run that
command but had trouble finding info on what "restricted state" means
other than being connected via OpsCons and ending all subsystems - is
that considered restricted state?  After I deleted the IFS file, but
before I was able to successfully run RCLSTG, I noticed the disk usage
steadily going down.  After about an hour it got down to 10% disk usage.

Now I am back to where I started and will see if I can get up to date on
PTF's.

Thanks all for your help,
