Total file count on Celerra

Thanks,   That did work, a bit tedious but it gave me what I needed.  appreciate it.

You're Welcome

using the -query option and awk to sum it's actually not that difficult to figure out a one-liner that does that all

You might also use the linux command by cd /nas/rootfs/slot_x/ . Path may vary if presented on a VDM.

    find . -ls|wc -l

This should provide files and directory count. thyis will be more accurte as a single file may have multiple inodes.

Inodes are also use for symbolic links and this may skew the actual object count.

Hi,

you are correct. Counting the inodes might not be accurated.

Just improving a little your command, if you want to see only the number of files, use this syntax :

find . -type f -ls|wc -l

Otherwise you are counting the directories also.

Example :

# find . -ls|wc -l
343

# find . -type f -ls|wc -l
320

# find . -type d -ls|wc -l
23

I generate this information, too, but I just use my NDMP backup output in the server_log messages:

If all you want is a total number of objects per filesystem, the last line is sufficient.  Just grep for 'server_archive' as your NDMP backups run, and sum the file counts up. Hope this helps!

good idea
