Reg : % utilisation of the directories

[Former Member]

HI all,

We have not created filesystems like /usr and /sapmnt and /oracle but we have installed everything under /apps and now i wanted to utilisation % but i am unable to find it out .

when i type this command du -hs ./* i am getting a output like this

du -hs ./*

3.2G ./sap

I want to get the % utilisation also .Can anybody help me out please .

Hi,

I think your question meant: what percentage of the filesystem space does a specific directory in that filesystem use? That question makes sense, especially because as stated in one of the other replies, a directory can eat up all the space in its filesystem.

Here's an example (taken from a Solaris server where SAP/Oracle are installed under the / root FS - not a good idea by the way):

First find out on what FS your directory resides (probably not needed in your case because you say it is /apps):

df -h /oracle/NNN
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/                      287G   189G    99G    66%    /

Now find the space occupied by the directory:

du -sh /oracle/NNN
 172G   /oracle/NNN

So the FS is 287 GB in size, of which 189 GB is currently occupied; of those 189 GB the Oracle directories (sw + db + ...) take up 172 GB. This is just under 60% of the maximum space of the FS and just over 90% of the currently used space.

Hi

Please check the with du -s command

Hi,

Go to the parent directory of the directory for which you want to find the %utilization and then use the command as Markus suggested.

Hope this is what you want.

My question is that i want to get % utilisation of the directories and not of the file systems.

[Former Member]

There is no such thing as '% utilisation of the directories'.

A directory always may use all the available space of its file system.

When the space is filled up by one directory, then, of course, no space will be left for other directories in the same file system as well.

For example in hp-ux we can know by this command .

1. bdf | grep mirr

/dev/vg_F7Y_00/lv_mirrlogB

524288 42192 451972 9% /oracle/F7Y/mirrlogB

/dev/vg_F7Y_00/lv_mirrlogA

524288 42192 451972 9% /oracle/F7Y/mirrlogA

here we can see the % .But in sun solaris how to know it ?

Hi,

I used du -k on HP-UX. I dont know whether it will work for you. Please try taking man on df too to find out appropriate switch.

This is not a directory but a MOUNTPOINT. If you have the same structure on Solaris you can do the same with the command "df -h".

Hi Ambarish ,

>here we can see the % .But in sun solaris how to know it ?

Try df -k

Hope it will help you

Try

df -h

But the problem is that since we have not created file systems so how do we find the utlisation?

[former_member220071]

Hi Ambrish ,

As per Markus if you give command df or df -h it will show the following result.

#df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

But the problem is that we don have file systems created .How to check then the % utilisation.

I seriously don't get your question.

Your question is: "% utilisation of the directories."

There are not directories if the filesystem is not yet there...
