yeah, but it's only got 10MB in it at the moment... fs quota says 
anywhere from 15% to 50% when you can't write to it any more...

No... 92%, but it's a 16GB filesystem (JFS on AIX 5.1).


I did find this little bit of trouble though...

r01ai01:/usr/afs/logs# bos salvage intl-mgw01.baplc.com -partition 
/vicepa -localauth
bos: shutting down fs.
Starting salvage.
bos: waiting for salvage to complete.
bos: salvage completed
bos: restarting fs.

Anyone got any advice for finding what's wrong with the partition? (I 
have two on this server, they both say the same thing now. My other main 
server has two volumes also, at exactly the same software levels, same 
disks etc and it's fine).
