Inodes Status

Is it possible to determine what inode numbers are assigned, being used and not used.

Hi:

I'm not sure why you care, but:

# ls -il /path | sort -kn1,1

...will show the numbers in use for a filesystem. Remember, inode numbers are only unique within a filesystem. That is, different files in different filesystems can be represented by the same number. The mountpoint for is always two (2).

Regards!

You can get counts with "bdf -i".

>JRF: ls -il /path | sort -kn1,1

If you wanted all of them:
# ll -iR /path | sort -n -k1,1

Hi,

You can use "sar -v 2 10" which returns only the number of processes & maximum number of processes running on your system, and also open inodes and open files.

sar -v 1 1
08:06:08 text-sz ov proc-sz inod-sz ov file-sz ov
08:06:10 N/A 0 656/1072 0 900/900 656/656 0

Use fsck(1m).
