This is a database error. Do a Q db f=d and a q log f=d. Make sure that you're not
out of log space, and that the DB looks ok. If it's not something obvious like the log

Answer 1:
Expiration (and reclamation) should happen normally based on your Reclamation

(respectively). It seems to work well. It's not the % utilized however that triggers
reclamation, it's the % of reclaimable space
TSM has a journaling facility of its own. It works great.
