Closed as documentation error.
Error description
'Used Space' parameter of command query dbspace requires additional description as follow for Linux platform. 'Used Space' parameter shows greater value then used space shows in Linux 'df -m' command since on Linux platform 5% of total file system size is reserved for root (overhead) but not shown as used in command output. Note: Same is applicable for 'Space Used by Database' parameter of command query db f=d Example: #df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/xyz 100790 67835 27835 71% /abc/db1 . #query dbspace Location Total Space(MB) Used Space(MB) Free Space(MB) /abc/db1 100789 72,954 27,834 . So, here we have 72954 ? 67835=5119MB (~5GB) difference in DB used space. Note: In above example /abc/db1 is a dedicated volume for TSM database

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Tivoli Storage Manager server users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: See error description. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** *
Problem conclusion
In the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Reference, the "QUERY DBSPACE (Display database storage space)" section will be updated to change the description of the "Space Used on Filesystem (MB)" field. For the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms, the following note will be added: "When you run the QUERY DBSPACE command, the value in the output might be greater than the value that is obtained by running the df system command. The output from the df system command does not include the amount of space that is reserved for the root user." For the Linux platform only, this note will be added: "If you run the df system command, the default percentage of space that is reserved for the root user is 5%. You can change this default value." Affected platforms: AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux.
