I just had a TSM server (v6.3.5 on AIX) grind to a halt because all directories of a FILE devclass had become full. However, the Q STGPOOL command showed it only 83% full. I have followed all the rules about each directory being a separate filesystem that contains nothing else, and not overestimating MAXSCRATCH. There is only one storage pool in this devclass. In fact, changing the MAXSCRATCH value does not change Estimated Capacity, despite what the manuals say.
The Q DIRSPACE and Unix df commands both show the same true status. This situation is making setting migration and reclamation thresholds to be difficult. So, what's going wrong here? How can I make the Estimated Capacity of a FILE storage pool match reality?
