    2 quick space savers on a master /usr/openv filesystem
    1. Unified logging files
    2. Old Update Packs

    1. Unified logs. Turn logging down to a minimal and purge them.
    Read this forum post for all the best ways to reclaim space.

    2. /usr/openv/pack/
    In here you might find saved backups of previous updates or maintenance packs
    Generally, I delete everything in here except any references to Prior Update Versions
    You can reclaim a big chunk of space. If you updated to 6.5.1 then 6.5.2 then 6.5.3 etc you can clean out those folders by now as not needed.
    Or back them up prior to deleting.
    Folders with names such as
    ./NB_CLT_6.5.3
    ./NB_6.5.3
    ./NB_JAV_6.5.3
    These contain backups of binaries prior to updating to 6.5.3
    So if you were on 6.5.4 you could delete them, but leave the
    ./NB_CLT_6.5.4
    ./NB_6.5.4
    ./NB_JAV_6.5.4
    directories in case you ever uninstall 6.5.4 and revert to previous 6.5.3 for example


    Or if /usr/openv/ on a volume in a volume/disk group ask them to add a new disk into the volume group and extend the file system if possible,
