Sorry for posting inappropriate questions to the forum. I was just hoping that
perhpas someone may have encountered the same problem.
I've kept on increasing "/usr/OV" ever since, but it keeps on filling up, until
I stop nvsec. After stopping the security, the disk space remains stable.
I'll call support for help.
Thanks & regards,
Jeanie
