Re: calc directory size on IFS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good point - I have a 12-byte file on a system that has 8KB allocation. 
Everything on i is constructed out of segments of pages - 4KB to my 
understanding, so  I'm a little surprised at the 8KB here.

The screen you get with EDTF does show allocated size - and 6 on a 
directory  gives something like this - I had put 6 on the Opt next to 
VHAMBERG.

I think this does not count files within the subdirectories, reason is, 
the IFS ACS tool shows more folders and files than this - 31 files, 27 
folders in the properties. I think properties there for a folder give 
data size, not allocated. For a single file it gives both.

There is an IFS stat API, I think, that has all this - perhaps used in 
the SQL service.

Many options - not all as helpful for the task the OP presented. I find 
myself using most of them at one time or another.
