I run a scheduled script that does something like this:
...
cd /usr/OV/databases/openview
echo "Backup of TME10 Netview databases have started..."
tar -cvf /usr/OV/backups/${WeekDay}.tar * 1>/dev/null
...
Following is a list of commands to show the environment before-and-after I
remove the backup
tar file:

absanv04:/home/root# df /usr/OV
Filesystem    512-blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/lv01        3932160   1228304   69%     9092     2% /usr/OV
absanv04:/home/root# cd /usr/OV/backups

absanv04:/usr/OV/backups# rm *
absanv04:/usr/OV/backups# df /usr/OV
Filesystem    512-blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/lv01        3932160   3327656   16%     9091     2% /usr/OV

The backup procedure worked ok with Netview 5.1 but we migrated to 5.1.2 and
now this problem shows up. You will notice that the tar file, Tue.tar, is
abnormally large. We take daily backups of the openview directories. I
stopped it for now until I can solve this one.

Any ideas?
