Compressed Files... message keeps coming up on console

[david902]

Not very good at Novell, I keep getting a message on the console:<br>
<br>
&quot;compressed files are not being committed decompressed on volume sys due to lack of disk space.&quot;<br>
<br>
I have 477Mb of disk space available on this volume. How can<br>
I reset this threshhold so the message stops filling my logs.<br>
<br>
I have gone over the volume with a fine tooth comb and deleted all unnecessary files, I know there are several Oracle databases on this volume, but I can't touch them.<br>
I cannot make more disk space without a DBA modifying tablespaces to make more disk space on the server.<br>
<br>
I know performance is affected but my hands are tied.<br>
other than getting the server console messages to stop, are there any other issues I should be concerned about.<br>
<br>
thanks.<br>

You could try turning OFF compression on the volume - that way it would stop trying, and stop complaining. You will have to dismount the volume to get access to the Compression Yes/No block in Volume Utilities. Load INSTALL at the server console prompt to get to the Volume utilities. Good luck! <p>Fred Wagner<br><a href=mailto:frwagne@ci.long-beach.ca.us>frwagne@ci.long-beach.ca.us</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

The best way to solve this problem (instead than adding a drive which would also work ) is to go to a F:/, G:/, etc. prompt and type PURGE /ALL to free up "limbo blocks", which are deleted files that have only been "marked" for deletion and can still be SALVAGED.
