Re^4: <p>Directory used % in Linux </p>

Hi Rolf, We are looking for the amount of disk space used by a directory on a mounted filesystem, for example if a filesystem is allocation for 8gb space and on that file system if I have directory call ABC consuming 4gb space, which means 50% of the space consumed by the directory ABC on that filesystem, can we get this sort information?

Like this ( i remember this has been mentioned already): `somehost:~ # mount \| grep mysql /dev/sda3 on /var/lib/mysql type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) somehost:~ # df -h /var/lib/mysql/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 215G 75G 129G 37% /var/lib/mysql` [download] Or a variation of it. I read this: 37% (75G of 215G) of /var/lib/mysql are used". Or i didn't understand the problem, who knows. Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l]

As I already pointed out, the "du" tool can help you with this by reporting directory sizes but you will have to calculate percentages yourself. Here's an example that does pretty much what you describe, go ahead and hammer it into the shape you want: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $dir = join(' ', map { '"'.$_.'"' } @ARGV) \|\| ""; # Use arguments +or default to pwd my @lines = qx(du -sc $dir); # Get sizes in bytes, with total my ($total) = split(/\s/, pop @lines); # Get total number of bytes foreach my $line (@lines) { if ($line =~ /(\d+)/) { printf("%6.2f%%\t%s", $1 100 / $total, $line); # Prefix % } }` [download] -- FloydATC Time flies when you don't know what you're doing	[reply] [d/l]
