964.0. "Problem with ARCHIVE when diskspace exhausted" by 54687::DORLAND (There's always one more bug!) Wed Sep 06 1995 10:53

    	
    	Hello,
    
    	a customer just reported a strange error.
    	He has two disks used for PCM logging. One
    	diks has all the CONSOLE$ROOT:[*...] files EXCEPT
    	archive which is the other disk. On the first disk
    	he sometimes runs into the DISPACE WARNING space situation
    	(the threshold is set at 80%). At that point if he tries to
    	archive (to free up space because console$archive is on
    	another disk) it won't work; archive just gives a message
    	telling that the device is full and does not archive. 
    
     	Can you tell me :
    	
    	- is this a bug?
    	- what does PCM check with respect to DISKSPACE WARNING and
    		DISKSPACE CRITICAL?
    
    	Regards, Ton.
    
    	PS Problem was reported on VAX V6.1 with PCM 1.67 + ECO 1

    Ton,
      How much space is left on the archive disk? Your message indicates
    that the archive area may be full as well. Also,
    how was the the archive area redirected? Was it via the
    editor or a logcial name redfintion?

    There was some 125,000 blocks left on the main disk, and some
    320,000 blocks left on the archive disk. THis is pointed to by
    the CONSOLE$ARCHIVE logical. 
    
    I'll have to contact the customer to check the size of the archive
    disk to determine if 320,000 blocks is also hitting the 80% mark.
    But from your reply I guess that PCM is also checking CONSOLE$ARCHIVE?

    If during an archive we run out of disk space, the archive area full
    event will be triggered and if you have the filter setup for the
    archive area full action then that will be run. The archive area is not 
    checked like the logging disks.
