To find out who is/are hogging disk resource

[Bob Bale]

Hello All,

Is there a way to see who is/are using/hogging all the disk resource in AIX?

Thanks a million.

If you mean "who is doing the most reads / writes to disk"

then:



there are a couple of ways you can do this, i would generally use nmon
as a starting point to see what the i/o characteristics are for a
process....



start nmon, then use "t" to get top processes, then use "5" to sort the
ouput by I/O Channel throughput...



if you wanted to work out which disks are being hit, then iostat will
tell you high level and filemon will give you low level information.



If you mean, who is using all my disk space, then you can use many
LVM commands like lsvg, lslv, lsfs, df, ls -l, du -sk etc.... to work
it all out.



There is a script kicking around this newsgroup that adds up all your
disk space etc, but i can remember what its called..



someone will no doubt be able to post the name of it or the thread that
contains it..



hope this helps

Mark

If you mean disk space then enable filesystem quotas, run the repquota
command and you'll get a nice list of how much disk space each user has.
