An Expert System Approach to Capacity Planning of Unix (R) File Systems
01 January 1990
Two expert system-assisted tools, FS-COMBINE and FS-SPLIT, to manage secondary storage on Direct Access Storage Devices (DASD) in the UNIX (R) system are introduced. This paper shows how consolidation of file systems with FS-COMBINE increases overall occupancy and utilization of DASD, and how FS-SPLIT forecasts future file system occupancy.
