bdfmegs 5.5 available

Bill Hassell — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:57:55 GMT

The latest version of bdfmegs is now available (attached). Three changes have been made:

1. -M will skip mountpoints as in: bdfmegs -M /mnt2. The pattern is anchored internally to the end of the line as: /mnt2$

2. Added selection of bdf -s (when available) to speed up the output.

3. Added snap volume detection. When a snap volume is found, the size is the lvol size, the Used amount is from mount -p, and Avail and %Used are not applicable. For -s (sum total), snap volumes are not counted.

Here is the online help: bdfmegs -h

Usage: bdfmegs [ -cghlNPpqstuVv ] [ ]
where:
-c # = Sort on column #
-d = Toggle divisor (1000 or 1024, current=1000)
-g = show gigabytes, otherwise megabytes
-h = Usage (return code=0, Usage to stdout)
-l = local (no NFS)
-M = skip (grep -v) mountpoints
-N = skip one or more volume groups
Repeat -N or use commas: -N vg10,vg24
-p ## = highlight % -ge ##
-P ## = show only % -ge ##
-q = suppress header line and no char enhancements
-s = summarize total, used and available
-t = specifc filesystem: (hfs vxfs nfs cdfs cifs autofs DevFS)
-u = usage (return code=0, Usage to stdout)
-v = verbose (type, version, largefiles)
(version info read permission for mountpoint)
-V = select one or more volume groups
Repeat -V or use commas: -V vg00,vg01

File(s) or dirpath(s) may be specified to reduce the output of bdfmegs:

bdfmegs -vg /usr/contrib/bin /var/tmp

If bdfmegs is run as bdfgigs (ie, a link), then -g is default.
(bdfmegs ver 5.5_Dec2009)

root not needed.
Download the script as bdfmegs. Make it executable:
chmod a+x bdfmegs

Then execute it: ./bdfmegs options ...

If you put this in a location that's in your $PATH, you don't need that "./".

> interpreter "/usr/bin/sh" not found

If you use vi to look at the file, I think you'll find ^M at the end of every line. This is caused by transferring a file from your PC to the HP-UX system (actually, any Unix flavor) using ftp in BINARY mode. Transfer the file again using ASCII and it will work OK. This is a very common mistake using ftp between very different operating systems.

You can also see the error suing cat -v:

cat -v bdfmegs

You can also fix the problem using dos2ux:

dos2ux bdfmegs > bdfmegs1
mv bdfmegs1 bdfmegs

Bill,
Congrats again for the new version of bdfmegs (5.5).

Working fine for me, however one quick question, when I am not using the -g flag, I am expecting all in MB (Megabyte ) output, however g still comming in the output.

-g = show gigabytes, otherwise megabytes.

It is working great. Just want to know if the g in the output is normal.

The text not displaying good in the forum reply space, so attached in the output.
Regards, Raj.

Yes. Because disk lvols can be a few MB or several TB, I reduced the available column widths to make things easier to read. The g shows GB, t shows TB. Rerun with -g to see the numbers in GB.

And be sure to read the announcement of bdfmegs 5.8 posted today.
