fix
We have created a simple formula to determine how much space is required to run file reports:
total number of i-nodes * 200 bytes = size of the report
To calculate the disk space requirements:
- Use the following example to obtain the total number of i-nodes:
# df -il /home
/home (/dev/vg00/lvol7 ) : 5868 total i-nodes
5864 free i-nodes
4 used i-nodes
0 % i-nodes used Multiply the total number of i-nodes by the amount of storage required to get the total number of bytes:
5868 * 200 = 1173600
To run all file reports:
- Add up all of the total i-nodes on your machine. This includes all local, non-networked file systems.
- Multiply this summed value by 200.
