file count

DHL International Italy — Thu, 07 Sep 2000 07:42:18 GMT

Is there a way to count all the files on a server (HP-UX 10.20) other than using find?

du / -a | wc -l

Hi,

to avoid for du walking thru NFS use:

du -t hfs -t vxfs -a / | wc -l

What is it that you are actually trying to achieve?

The previous replies are good if you just want to find how many files and directories exist.

The quickest way is probably :-

bdf -i

Then just look at the iused column. Each file and directory requires 1 inode.

Hi,

Andy's solution is indeed the best and the quickest.

To calculate the total number of files on all mounted file systems:

-------------------
total_files=0
set $(bdf -i)
shift 10
while [ $# -gt 1 ]
do
let total_files=$total_files+$6
shift 9
done
print $total_files
----------------------

Hope this helps,
Rik.

Hi,
TO count total number of files on all mounted local file systems run following script:

total_files=0
for number in `bdf -il | grep -v Filesystem | awk '{print $6}'`
do
total_files=`expr $total_files + $number`
done
echo $total_files

Just the for the fun of it you could also do

find / | wc -l

reember though in most of the methods you will be counting . and ..
But in find you could do somthing like
find . | grep -v ". " | grep -v ".. " | wc -l

and if you didnt want nfs dir's you can add this as an option to find

You can use the following commands.

ll -R |grep -v ^d | wc -l
ll |wc -l
