BRTools calculates free space wrong

[Former Member]

Hello all,

When running brtools to do an offline back-up, one gets the following error message:

BR0616I Tablespaces in table TSORA for SAP owner SAPSR3:

PSAPSR3, PSAPSR3700, PSAPSR3USR

BR0227E Not enough disk space in /oracle/XDS/sapbackup for backup, missing at least 14395.236 MB

sandbox:oraxds 136> pwd

/oracle/XDS

sandbox:oraxds 135> ls -lrt

lrwxrwxrwx 1 oraxds dba 35 2009-02-28 14:32 sapbackup -> /TMPMOUNT/MyBook/BACKUPS/sapbackup/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 oraxds dba 34 2009-02-28 14:33 sapreorg -> /TMPMOUNT/MyBook/BACKUPS/sapreorg/

sandbox:oraxds 131> df -k

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/sdf1 307663800 253549656 38485712 87% /TMPMOUNT/MyBook

According to the information above, there is more than twice the amount of space the error message is complaining about available. No matter how much I remove data on the disk, I still get the same message.

What is wrong?

TIA

Never mind - put things in "compressed" mode and it all had fit - and the disk became 91% full
