Hi,

One way is to create a script like this (replace RAW value with your raw LV):

======================================
#!/sbin/sh

RAW=/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/homevol

fuser -u $RAW 2>&1 | tr [")"] ["\n"] | grep \( |cut -d\( -f2 > /tmp/fuser.list
NAMES=`cat /tmp/fuser.list | sort | uniq`
for name in $NAMES
do
echo $name users=`grep $name /tmp/fuser.list |wc -l`
done
rm -f /tmp/fuser.list
======================================

Note is that fuser outputs the userids into STDERR and the process IDs into STDOUT. As such, 2>&1 is necessary to capture fuser's output in entirety.

Tested the script to work. Hope this helps. Regards.

RAW=/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/test_vol1;fuser -u $RAW

Hi,

interestrang = interesting but strange?

The script extracts the list of process owners currently using the raw volume (you have just listed this during stepping through of the script), identifies each owner uniquely (sort | uniq)and counts the number of processes running on the raw volume for each unique user (grep ... | wc -l).

Please feel free to let me know of any clarifications you need regarding the script.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

tr [")"] ["\n"]
- this replaces all ) characters with the newline, thus breaking the usernames into separate lines.

grep \(
- because there are blank lines right at the end, this is one method to clear the blank lines.

cut -d\( -f2
- this extracts just the username without the prefixed process id and ( character.

Hope this helps. Regards.
