Is there a command to count inodes with in a directory?
I know I can see total inode usage with:
df -i
And I know I can find total number of files with:
find ./ |wc -l
But how can I find inodes? As files over 8kb (if using the default partitioning of 1 node over 2 4kb blocks) would take up more than 1 inode.
I have a really deep directory tree on my Linux box. I would like to count all of the files in that path, including all of the subdirectories.
For instance, given this directory tree:
/home/blue
/home/red
/home/dir/green
/home/dir/yellow
/home/otherDir/
If I pass in /home, I would like for it to return 4 files. Or, bonus points if it returns 4 files, 2 directories. Basically, I want the equivalent of right-clicking a folder on Windows and selecting properties and seeing how many files/folders are contained in that folder.
How can I most easily do this? I have a solution involving a Python script I wrote, but why isn't this as easy as running ls | wc or similar?
Word Count for all files in a directory

I have been able to use find -type d to list directories and subdirs but I want a numerical value of dirs and subdirs. I know ls -l gives a count but when I try ls -l -d all it shows is "." I also have tried a combination with the -R option but nothing seems to be working for me.Please forgive my ignorance but I am working on a script for class and this is the first step.

Create the file ~/license_counts, which tables the number of occurrences of packages which are licensed under a given license, for the top 5 most commonly used licenses, sorted in numerically descending order. If performed correctly, your file should be formatted similarly to the following. (Do not be concerned if the actual counts or license names are different. Also, you might notice logically similar licenses, such as LGPL/GPL and GPL/LGPL. Do not make any attempt to combine them into a single entry.)
The resulted format:
I tried some method but cannot get it to work.
I have the following perl/DBI script:
Quote:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
my ($db, $user, $pw) = ('dbname', '****', '***********');
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$db",$user,$pw) or die "Cannot connect to $db: $DBI::errstr
[code].....
The error message is
[Wed Feb 24 13:03:27 2010] myscript.cgi: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 at myscript.cgi. [Wed Feb 24 13:03:27 2010] myscript.cgi: DBI::db=HASH(0x8a30c60)->errstr
This has to also show the line count. I can get it to show the files but not the line count. What is the single command used to identify only the matching count of all lines within files under the /etc directory that contain the word „HOST? List only the files with matches and suppress any error messages.

Write a script that will take a list of filenames as arguments and output a count of how many of them are regular files, and how many of them are scripts (if the file is executable, it will be assumed to be a script file)

Is there a way to show or count how many CPU instructions a particular process is using or uses?
In my work we develop a web application and I'm responsible of maintaining the web server.
The app lets you handle data online so each client that uses the web application has a folder associated to it, where his data is stored. (/var/www/html/test) for example.
The idea is to get how many CPU instructions the httpd process for that particular folder is having. Is there a way to do this?
I am a student studying computer science course.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
Look at my screenshot at [url].
I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively

Previously I had posted a question on how to make it run every 7 minutes between 7 and and 11pm.However now I found out what I really need is every 7 minuted between 7:30 and 11pm BUT it has to be every 7 minutes, it cannot reset itself on the top of every hour, so the */7 wont work.How can it that it will be every 7 minutes, so it will go at 7:30, 37,44,51, 58, 8:05, etc..

To fix the insufficient inodes issue on a FS shouldn't be involved File System extend or House Keeping of existing File system.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to make the ls -laR /media/myfs on Linux as fast as possible. I'll have 1 million files on the filesystem, 2TB of total file size, and some directories containing as much as 10000 files. Which filesystem should I use and how should I configure it?As far as I understand, the reason why ls -laR is slow because it has to stat(2) each inode (i.e. 1 million stat(2)s), and since inodes are distributed randomly on the disk, each stat(2) needs one disk seek.Here are some solutions I had in mind, none of which I am satisfied with:Create the filesystem on an SSD, because the seek operations on SSDs are fast. This wouldn't work, because a 2TB SSD doesn't exist, or it's prohibitively expensive.
Create a filesystem which spans on two block devices: an SSD and a disk; the disk contains file data, and the SSD contains all the metadata (including directory entries, inodes and POSIX extended attributes). Is there a filesystem which supports this? Would it survive a system crash (power outage)?Use find /media/myfs on ext2, ext3 or ext4, instead of ls -laR /media/myfs, because the former can the advantage of the d_type field (see in the getdents(2) man page), so it doesn't have to stat. Unfortunately, this doesn't meet my requirements, because I need all file sizes as well, which find /media/myfs doesn't print.Use a filesystem, such as VFAT, which stores inodes in the directory entries. I'd love this one, but VFAT is not reliable and flexible enough for me, and I don't know of any other filesystem which does that. Do you? Of course, storing inodes in the directory entries wouldn't work for files with a link count more than 1, but that's not a problem since I have only a few dozen such files in my use case.
Adjust some settings in /proc or sysctl so that inodes are locked to system memory forever. This would not speed up the first ls -laR /media/myfs, but it would make all subsequent invocations amazingly fast. How can I do this? I don't like this idea, because it doesn't speed up the first invocation, which currently takes 30 minutes. Also I'd like to lock the POSIX extended attributes in memory as well. What do I have to do for that?Use a filesystem which has an online defragmentation tool, which can be instructed to relocate inodes to the the beginning of the block device. Once the relocation is done, I can run dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=1M count=256 to get the beginning of the block device fetched to the kernel in-memory cache without seeking, and then the stat(2) operations would be fast, because they read from the cache. Is there a way to lock those inodes and/or blocks into memory once they have been read? Which filesystem has such a defragmentation tool?
