hsmmigzeroblockfiles

The hsmmigzeroblockfiles option specifies whether the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client migrates files that allocate zero data blocks in the file system.

Some files are so small that the metadata and the file content fit completely in the inode. The file system allocates no data blocks for such small files. Migrating such small files does not save space on the file system. By default, the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client migrates such small files when the files meet migration criteria. You can set HSMMIGZEROBLOCKFILES NO if you do not want to migrate such small files.

Options File

Place this option at the beginning of the dsm.sys file before any server stanzas.
