how to find directory total size [web interface] ??
hello,
how to get the total size of directory [ including inner directories / files as well ] like if i create a parent directory called prod_share then it has
bunch of inner folders/files but when i see click the prod_share on top its showing size in 501 B but i know the data inside is ~ 100GB.
i believe we can navigate to that path on CLI /ifs/xx/xx then du cmd but is there any way to find that on web interface??

Peter, the physical size of a directory shown in IIQ, does it also include snaps ?

Hi Damal, I don't think so, afaik the FSA scans basically the same
information (stat() call) as a normal "du".

Thanks peter.
We have a billing requirement in which a department will be charged for physical size of a directory + snaps. Thought IIQ includes snaps as well in physical size but its not. (Ran a du -sh on a directory and matched its results to IIQ values and they are same)
Is there a solution for this ?
Thanks,
Damal.

The correct way to handle this would be to use accounting quotas. Setup an accounting quota to include snapshot size and then you can run a quota report to get your billing information.

If you go the accounting quota way, keep in mind that the quotas with --include-snapshots only account for snapshots that are created after the quota was created. So if you already have snapshots and want to chargeback for them you're in bad luck.
The really lousy way to do this is to parse the
isi snapshot snapshots list -v
but then you'd have convert all b,K,M,T numbers to MB and add up

Even CLI is not helpful to account snaps that are created before quotas ?

> only account for snapshots that are created after the quota was created
thanks
And Plan B is not so lousy any more with OneFS 7.x and its
more or less consistent appearance of the option --format csv or json

There already exist advisory and hard quota on directories.
Will there be any kind of impact in view of performance if we have multiple quotas set on same directory

Is there a scenario in which we can use snapshot aliases for a scheduled snapshot
