    Root-cause:  Bug in 7.6.1 install that caused a VxFS storage checkpoint to be left behind after the upgrade.  This checkpoint gradually grew until the MSDP filesystem was out of space.  Discovered using the command:

    fsckptadm list /msdp/data/dp1/pdvol

    Removed with:

    fsckptadm remove msdp_ckpt /msdp/data/dp1/pdvol

    Restarted services and my MSDP pool was back in business.

    This affected *2* of my 5220 appliances - both had to be repaired with the above procedure.

    Support Case #08311159 just in case anyone needs to reference this issue with Support.

This continues to be a significant issue.  It appears that the MSDP is not allowing space to be reclaimed.  I have moved policies off this appliance since the MSDP is currently 100% full.  I continue to expire images yet get NOTHING back.

Support has been working on it for over a week now with no results.

Will update when progress is made.
