inode details for ReiserFS

Arunvijai_4 — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 05:47:49 GMT

Hello All,

What is the best for finding inode details of a ReiserFS ? I tried # df -i nothing was good.

# df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 0 0 0 - /

Thanks,
Arun

Reiserfs has no fixed predefined number of inodes on the file system. Hence, field f_files of struct statfs (see man 2 statfs) is not
applicable to this file system. Man page explicitly says:

Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to 0.

Hi Arun,
ReiserFS doesnot support displaying inode by default. Even I was wondering why?.

So you have to apply a patch to do this, I guess. Not sure...:-)

May be google can help you better.

Hi again Arun,
I mean ReiserFS does not support inode in sense, it donto display the inode attribute while using df command.

My SUSE Enterprise Server 9 runs with 3.6.13 Reiser. So I am also not able to see the indoe details with df.

I guess Reiser4 will have this inode attribue. It is available with 2.4 kernel.

Hi Arun,
Check this link, you could find a patch for ReiserFS to enable indoe attributes.

This should solve your problem..:-)
