Well,
I applied service to 1.6 the other day. The size of the .pax was 1.8G. While it is unpacking, it creates a temp file as SMPE... which includes the date time... this thing grows phenomenally. The structure of my file system looks like this... /u/smpe/MVS //SMPDIR DD PATH='/u/smpe/MVS', // PATHDISP=KEEP //SYSIN DD DATA,DLM=$$ <GIMUNZIP> <ARCHDEF name="SMPPTFIN/S0001.SHOPZ.S6796114.SMPMCS.pax.Z" volume="Z7SM01" newname="SMPE.S6796114.SMPMCS"> </ARCHDEF> <ARCHDEF name="SMPHOLD/S0002.SHOPZ.S6796114.SMPHOLD.pax.Z" volume="Z7SM01" newname="SMPE.S6796114.SMPHOLD"> </ARCHDEF> The interesting thing is that this temp file is created in the MVS 'directory' Needles to say it kept on filling up... so I mounted a 120 000 track as /u/smpe/MVS; A 90 000 track as /u/smpe/MVS/SMPHOLD and another 90 000 track as /u/smpe/MVS/SMPPTFIN The SMPHOLD was only 30% used, so I could have trimmed it down, but while the job was running I regularly did a df command and saved the first and last one... /u/smpe/MVS/SMPPTFIN (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS.SMPPTFIN) 7467436/8552190 4294967 291 Available /u/smpe/MVS/SMPHOLD (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS.SMPHOLD) 8551708/8552190 429496729 1 Available /u/smpe/MVS (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS.MVS) 10327170/11402958 4294967285 Avail able /u/smpe (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS) 9977562/9977582 4294967291 Available /SYSTEM/dev (/dev) 8104/8192 1013 Available /SYSTEM/tmp (/tmp) 1992/2048 249 Available /SYSTEM/etc (OMVSZA.ETC) 105024/108096 4294967024 Available /Service (OMVSZA.ROOT) 1089792/4324896 4294954124 Available /SYSTEM/var (OMVSZC.VAR) 34408/36096 4294967209 Available /etc (OMVSZC.ETC) 105016/108096 4294967024 Available / (OMVSZC.ROOT) 1089712/4324896 4294954119 Available /u/smpe/MVS/SMPPTFIN (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS.SMPPTFIN) 7467436/8552190 4294967 291 Available /u/smpe/MVS/SMPHOLD (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS.SMPHOLD) 8551708/8552190 429496729 1 Available /u/smpe/MVS (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS.MVS) 5261/11402958 4294967285 Avail able /u/smpe (ZFS.SMPE.SERVICE.UPLOADS) 9977562/9977582 4294967291 Available /SYSTEM/dev (/dev) 8104/8192 1013 Available /SYSTEM/tmp (/tmp) 1992/2048 249 Available /SYSTEM/etc (OMVSZA.ETC) 105024/108096 4294967024 Available /Service (OMVSZA.ROOT) 1089792/4324896 4294954124 Available /SYSTEM/var (OMVSZC.VAR) 34408/36096 4294967209 Available /etc (OMVSZC.ETC) 105016/108096 4294967024 Available / (OMVSZC.ROOT) 1089712/4324896 4294954119 Available As you can see from the second display, the available size on /MVS went from 10327170 all the way down to 5261. I probably just made it.
