Isilon doesn't have filesystems per se, it has one filesystem. That filesystem is called OneFS, which yes, is also the name of the operating system, and that can be confusing. So you have one big/really-big filesystem with lots of files and folders. The easiest place to look for space is to see if you have any extra/old snapshots laying around. `isi snap ls`. You would want to delete the oldest snapshots first, since deleting newer ones is may not necessarily free up lots of space. Also just because you delete a snap doesn't mean that the space is immediately available back to the filesystem. There is a built-in job that comes through and cleans them up called 'SnapshotDelete', which you can run manually, or will run automatically on a pre-defined interval. If you want to look for old data, just navigate the tree using ls -l, or using InsightIQ, to look for file ages.
Okay thanks. We have removed old snaps and have snapshot delete running so will give InsightIQ a go and try work out where to get the info from. thanks

Hi Andrew,
One way is to go to iiq, filesystem reporting, filesystem analytical,
choose the cluster and fsa report, select data properties as report type.
Leave the compare to option blank.
Once data is populated you get the option to sort by access time.
Play around a bit and you will find the data based on access time.
Hope this helps.
