Re: IFS Space Utilization Report?

One of the Unix dweebs will need to explain more here, I think. 'du' has some other switches that have to do with multiple links to an object, according to the AIX docs. I did not look too carefully for details.

One thing I like is getting the full path for each object. And the size is actual disk allocated space, I believe, instead of bytes.

The symbolic link thing is tricky when walking the IFS tree - different functions to get resolved info vs. just link info (lstat vs. stat, right?). And one of the APIs lets you filter out symbolic links - nice.

It's still not very efficient, IMO - takes a long time to get through a big system. Can you imagine a SAN, with 22 teras?

these.  You want to ensure that you are reporting the space of the
symbolic link and not the object it references.

There's always PASE - call qp2term. 'df' is not there - probably not very
meaningful on a 400, if I remember what it does. 'du' IS there, and the
same redirection options are there, of course.

'du -a' resulted in the following (all files in all subdirectories) -
numbers on the left are the number of 512-byte blocks. 'du -ak' would list
