What gets me are those who use the same space clearing techniques which
they used when they had 300MB total space.

Always start out with RTVDSKINF, and when that's done, PRTDSKINF *SYS

Suggesting that I look at the number of spool files on a system like this
% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes
User libraries 6.94 271609.62
User directories 71.35 2793284.59
Folders and documents .00 .11
QSYS .07 2549.62
Other IBM libraries .40 15763.21
Licensed Internal Code .21 8224.77
Temporary space .76 29636.85
Unused space 20.25 792811.35
System internal objects .01 481.01
Objects not in a library .00 .00
TOTAL 99.99 3914361.13

is a sure sign you need to update your techniques. Especially when it
breaks it down later and spool doesn't even take up 1/100 of one percent.
