You could do that - not even any need to reboot...

You could do that too, but...
 
>c) some other course of action?
 
The 192 disk is used by LISTSERV for temporary work files.  For example,
if someone does a search on a digest, a LISTSERV CMSUT1 and the DATABASE
OUTPUT file that is sent to the searcher is written onto that disk.
 
The thing is, 3 cyls is a decent size for a this kind of stuff.  We used to
have a 5 cyl 192 and it finally filled up a couple of times when we got
someone searching year's worth of large notebooks, so perhaps you can increase
your disk a couple of cylinders, but you can probably just do a CMS ERASE
DATABASE OUTPUT D command for now and survive (until whomever submitted that
large search job submits it again).
 
We have a 10 cyl 192 disk now and have no problems, but we have some very
large notebooks as well as about 2000 files in our filelists.
