This is the output from the system census , OS ver 4.0f .

Operational: BMT pageCnt decreasing on AdvFS domain usr_domain


What does the above warning mean ?

Just one response .Thank you Tim Mark.

The response is :

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first thing to understand is that there is currently

no problem. This message is indicating that in the future

you MAY get "disk full" errors even though df says you

have plenty of space in that domain. It's quite possible

that you will never hit such a scenario. And even if you

do, you can use "addvol" to add a new volume to your

usr_domain so that you can continue to grow it, even though

a "partially empty" volume (the first one) won't allow

more files on it. You can continue like this for as long

as you want. You will not lose data, you will not have

crashes because of this, you will not have system hangs, etc.

If you decide you'd like to upgrade to the 5.x stream, you

will have the opportunity, at your discretion, to upgrade

your domains to the new-in-5.x on-disk formats, which are

not susceptible to the issue you're seeing.
