Free Space on Partition

Hi everyone

We are running Tru-64 Unix version 5.1 and one of the domains is reporting
impossible disk utilisation figures. The partition size is about 33,500,000
1024-blocks, the total used space of all the filesets is 4,620,000 and the
reported available space is 8,370,000 so it appears to have "lost" about
20,510,000.

The only other clue I have is that a "defragment" was running but aborted so
is it possible there is a lot of space in a file used by that utility that
is not being reported? Before the defragment was run the system was
reporting less available space than should have existed and I noticed that
when a (very large) file was deleted it was not being reflected in the free
space table at all on a couple of occasions.

This is now preventing over half the system from operating at all (because
there is not sufficient space to reload the files previously copied before
the defragment) so does anyone have any suggestions please?

I have used the showfdmn and showfsets commands and everything appears
normal there. I have also used the verify command without errors.

Is there possibly any method by which I can force the system to recalculate
the available space correctly?


Many thanks in advance.
