How to report usage of AFTDs

Question

I'm sure there is a way to do this but I can't remember how it is done! I want to get an idea of the percentage use of an advanced file type device; mminfo reports 0% and a written amount in TB which I believe is the size of the AFTD; the volume current capacity is set to 0KB which maybe why the percentage used does not show.

One further point, this is Networker 7.2 and I know there have been many enhancements to AFTD since then (and yes I do not it is not supported etc!)

Hi David, I think, you will never get any usage in %, because AFTDs are not limitted in capacity. The only way is to get the info from the filesystem. Peter

Just to correct myself, mminfo shows 100% use, and the GUI shows 0% use

Thanks Peter, however I think I have a way of doing this though it will be interesting to see what opinion others have here. By running nsrim -V against the AFTD volume it reports the usage on the volume, for example:

D:\>nsrim -V AFTD.001

...

316141 browsable files of 875166 total, 70 GB recoverable of 221 GB total

AFTD.001: 10 TB used, 246 save sets, appendable, 239 browsable save sets, 7 recyclable save sets

From this information I would assume:

1. total capacity is 10TB

2. capacity used is 221GB (there are several large aborted savesets on this volume)

Is this data valid or is it possible (particularly with regards to the total capacity figure) that this may be reported incorrectly.
