My rule of thumb for any 3000 is 15% freespace on SYS_VS and
10% for user volumes.

This allows plenty of space for memory dumps,log files, transient etc..
and plenty of space for large DB restores, Adager capacity changes and
sort space..

HTH,

Guy

Subject: Minimum Disc Space Requirements?


Hi All,
    The question has come up here... on a 928... what is the minimum
percentage of free space needed to run?  (other than 1 sector more than that
which causes the box to crash! hehe)

    I have always been taught to keep 20% free... but have run a box down to
8.x% free before it crashed...  Also, since we have user volumes on this
box... does the collective freespace count or does each user volume require
it's own minimum freespace?

Art "scratching my head and figuring out how to fit a recovery on the box?"
