Thanks JAB and Luis

I know, there are mmdelnsd, mmdeldisk, mmrestripefs and a few other correlated mm* commands. They are very high-level in work in bulk discreet fashion (I mean, considering the number of NSDs we have, each deletion will shave 4% of the storage at once, that is too much).


Then you are goosed. An NSD cannot be changed in size once created and can only ever be in a file system or out a file system. The only way to change the size of a GPFS file system is by adding or removing NSD's.

I am not a fan of how the DSS-G creates small numbers of huge NSD's. In fact the script sucks a *lot* from a systems admin perspective. Then again someone at IBM thought redeploying your entire OS every time you want to make a point release upgrade was a good idea.
