Used Percentage Alarm

The Least Space / Disk Space container in the Disk Activity panel displays the percentage of used disk space for the specified filesystem.

The Used Percentage alarm indicates that the filesystem is full or filling up. If the filesystem fills up completely, no more data can be written to it. For example:

• If the /var filesystem fills, you may have problems with system activities such as e-mail or printing.
• If the /home filesystem fills, user applications may be affected.
• If the /tmp filesystem fills, any applications that use temporary files may be affected.

Notes: 

• The data displayed in the Least Space / Disk Space container is collected from:

• The filesystem that has the least amount of free space, OR
• A user-specified filesystem on the Unix host.

• To choose the filesystem whose details are displayed in the container, right-click the container and select Disk Options.
