Your filesystem is ext3 or reiserfs. New Linux distributions default to
one of them. TSM client understands ext2.

Can you tell us what the impact on performance is if you let TSM mirror the
database in case of large database? Let's say the database is 40 Gb is size,
as is ours.
We are considering the mirror option, but we have a large backup volume and
do not want to have much performance degradation.
Zlatko,
you are right, BUT..when the TDP sends an incorrect Filesize to the TSM
Server, the maxsize Parameter won't work
(TDP sends 100 Byte - the server will let the File go to the diskpool, but the
file will indeed have 20 Gb, which will fill up your diskpool and bring up the
message
Gerhardt,
sending of incorrect filesize obviously happens (by my experiences) when
commpression is turned on and compressed file grows up to original file. Try
to use no compression or COMPRESSALWAYS NO to avoid bad file size prediction
by client. It was discussed here sometimes in the past.
Here is the URL for the AIX 4.3 TSM client:

Thanks for responses!
I will try the following:
1) set highmig fairly low during main backup time so there'll be enough space in
diskpool
2) set maxsize to a value that I know is lower than the filesizes where the
