Easiest way that I know of to check this is from a UNIX shell and issue the command: df -v /var df -v /var/cron As an example (my /var/log is on a different zFS than /var) $ df -v /var Mounted on Filesystem Avail/Total Files Status /LIH1/var (OMVS.I17RS1.LIH1.VAR) 28576/40320 4294967137 Available ZFS, Read/Write, Device:7, ACLS=Y File System Owner : LIH1 Automove=U Client=N Filetag : T=off codeset=0 Aggregate Name : OMVS.I17RS1.LIH1.VAR $ df -v /var/log Mounted on Filesystem Avail/Total Files Status /LIH1/var/log (OMVS.I17RS1.LIH1.VARL) 22866/149760 4294967242 Available ZFS, Read/Write, Device:8, ACLS=Y File System Owner : LIH1 Automove=U Client=N Filetag : T=off codeset=0 Aggregate Name : OMVS.I17RS1.LIH1.VARL -- "Pessimism is a admirable quality in an engineer. Pessimistic people check their work three times, because they're sure that something won't be right. Optimistic people check once, trust in Solis-de to keep the ship safe, then blow everyone up."
