RE: How to obtain size of ifs directories and sub-directories

Nice.

I am also creating an IFS crawler as a Native .Net C# example. Much of the granular dir and file handling functionality is built-in to .Net.

My example crawled about 200000 files in 2 minutes, although I am going to add a thread throttle setting since it chews up as much CPU as it can get 😊

Found a gotcha though because the DIR list functions will iteratively crawl directories set up as symbolic links so I had to put an extra check in for that to prevent endless loops when crawling symbolic links.

Just to have an open source method also. If you have IBM YUM binaries installed and use the file tools they have, you can get something like the below. No better than the queries from RTVDSKINF, just wanted to put another method into the archives. Paths are hard coded in case you don't have these as your default binaries.
bash-4.4$ /qopensys/pkgs/bin/du -h --exclude=Medtron --exclude=QSYS.LIB --exclude=QIBM --exclude=QNTC --exclude=QFileSvr.400 | /qopensys/pkgs/bin/sort -h > ~/medtron_dir_size.txt

produces a file like this (this is the bottom of the file) Subdirectories are included in parent directories. So /kevin has 25g total, and 21g of that is in the cmc_os subdirectory.
