Hi Guys,
When I run certain mqm test I get my space on a certain partition up to 100% with files in the /var/mqm/errors.
How can i tell mqm not to output these errors onto files in the /var/mqm/errors?
I need to change these because every time the partition goes up to 100% MQM stops to work and I have to erase all files and restart MQM.
Any ideas? (I dont want to create a crontab job to erase these files, just make mqm do it automatically)
BR

when mq runs without problems you should not get too may files under /var/mqm/errors, the 3 amqserr*.log files are 256kb each (imho). shis should nog eat too much
so what filenames or files do you find there? fdc files? then you should investigate, because they indicate problems....

| I erase all of them again before posting here. I will take a look as they will appear again. Then I will post here the files. |

Let's see if you can get away without posting the files. Look in the files at the Probe Id, Component, Process Name, Errorcodes, Description. Do some searching on Internet. Good luck.

Also, another good reason to separate the following file systems:
/var/mqm
/var/mqm/error
/var/mqm/qmgr
/var/mqm/log |

How many gigabytes of space do you have in /var/mqm/errors ?
What type of testing was going on?
It is never a good idea to clear out that directory unless you know the information in there is not useful for future reference.
You can get a view of the data in there by doing this:
| Code: |
cd /var/mqm/errors

Unfortunately this seems to be rarely done. /var/mqm/qmgr and /var/mqm/log should be on separate file systems and physical hard disks for reliability, performance and capacity reasons. Ideally there should be separate file systems for each queue manager so they don't impact each other. How long is a piece of string...

Then again, if errors fill the filesystem, there are two possibilities: too little disk space, and/or too many errors.
Which piece of string?

Usually its both

The piece of string involved in making capacity estimates, buying disks, setting up the file systems, and implementing capacity alerts.

Oh, that piece of string... I was thinking of the other piece of string.

Exactly? Twice half its length

This must be an international thing.
Most shops in the U.S. appear to use handwaving for this instead of a piece of string. |

Hi Jeff,
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/How+long+is+a+piece+of+string%3F says:
"(British & Australian) something that you say when someone asks you a question that you cannot answer about how big something is or how much time something will take"
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/how_long_is_a_piece_of_string says:
" 1. (humorous) Used as a response to a question such as "How long will it take?" or "How big is it?" when the length or size is unknown or infinite."

More international than US, I suppose.
Here in the US, when asked a fundamentally rude, idiotic or stupid question, (like 'how long will it take?'), it is not uncommon to respond with: "...are you a f***ing idiot?!"
