This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.
IBM has evaluated the priority of this enhancement proposal relative to other future product content and determined that this RFE will not be pursued for a future product release.
This seems more like a monitoring thing than an operating system thing.
Also, handling this as a thin LUN is probably better where possible.
Here is an example script.
Potential improvements:
* Notifications on exceptions
* Config file to track different settings per filesystem
* Also check iused / ifree to handle tiny-files
* Run as a daemon vs from cron.
* Explicit lists of filesystems, or include/exclude lists

# Run this from cron every minute to automatically resize JFS2 filesystems
# Incorrect limits could cause size flapping for small filesystems.
# We skip things we cannot reduce.

MAXFREEPCT=70
MINPPFREE=10
