Error description

• When writing to a directory container pool message "ANR0522W no
  space available in stgpool <poolname>" is received.  The server
  will write to some of the directories until full and then
  populate the ANR0522W message while other directories still
  havefree space available
  
  
  Example from Linux OS "df -h | grep dir | sort -k6":
  ...
  18T 18T 1.0M 100% /dir/ds02
  18T 18T 1.0M 100% /dir/ds03
  18T 18T 835M 100% /dir/ds04
  18T 17T 1.6T 92% /dir/ds10
  18T 419G 18T 3% /dir/ds12
  18T 95G 18T 1% /dir/ds13
  18T 22G 18T 1% /dir/ds14
  18T 31G 18T 1% /dir/ds15
  ...
  
  There will be ample free space as seen via a Show SDPool output.
