May I try to contribute to this discussion. - Raw logical volumes ought to be faster than a single large file because there is no JFS overhead. What if the disk keeping the jfslog volume is very busy. And there were many threads on this list regarding TSM log pinnouts, overflows, etc. Have in mind

Hi Eric, I assume, for performance reasons you wil not make one big filespace per disk. But about your question: I think that there will always be an little bit of space wich can't be used because. On AIX the Inode uses an littlebit of space wich can't be used for TSM-files. I could not find any

Hi Eric, For your question, the answer is: ' dsmfmt -data ' creates a XX+1MB file If your 36 GB disks are for disk pools, did you ever think about using RAW devices instead. Perfs are better because you have not the JFS overhead. In counterparse, you need to migrate you disk data everyday to

There's also the overhead of the JFS filesystem. When you create with "Large File" also don't use defaults, use "Number of Bytes per inode" of at least 32768 and this will give you a few more hundred MB of space. After FS is created, use df -k to see what you actually have available and use

Hi Eric, I experienced that it is not possible to fill the disk completly. If I had 1000MB free space, i'll be able to fill it j.l. to 981MB. Even there is some space left, if i try to make the file 985MB, it said that it is not possible. Don't ask me why Most of the times i need to keep 20-2

Hi Eric, I re-read "TSM implementation guide" Redbook a couple of minutes ago, and they don't speek about any overhead space for a data volume, what they specify is that if you want to format a db volume, then the allocated file size is always a multiple of 4 MB plus an additional 1 MB for overh
