Zombies store information about certain deleted files. Take a look here

So - zombie files are just deleted files that have not been submitted to TeamSite staging - is that correct?

Running iwstat -c -i 5 -n 25 I do not get output like the KB shows. I'm a little wary of running iwbspeek without documentation.

usage: iwbspeek [-html] [-raw] [-vpath vpath] [-id object-id] [-area area-id] [-
suffix any_suffix] [-collapse brace_num] backing-store-path

Also - the KB talks about deleting ModelInstance directory to clean up the zombies. For zombies that might exist in content directories I'm assuming that submiting the deletions to TeamSite staging would clean up the zombies - correct?

Sorry Seth, can not comment on it. I simply do not know. When I saw your post I've remembered seeing something about
zombies in the 6.7.2 release notes and used new(er) Autonomy Support to search for it - that's where the reference
came from. Perhaps somebody who's dealt with zombies before will chime in

All I know about zombies is that they like brains and you have to shoot for the head to kill them.

Seriously, the KB article that Boris found makes them sound just like ordinary holes. I wonder, though, if they are maybe related to that old issue where a locked file inside a deleted directory makes it impossible to submit the directory. That's nothing but a guess, though.

delete and not submitted.

happens way too often with zz_tst files (because the GUI hides them)

they do not eat your brain however Smiley Very Happy
