bdfmegs ver 5.0

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again) Bill:

> Thanks James. It has been difficult to locate multi-terabyte filesystems for testing. I'll fix the code.

Your code made this easy! Given Patrick's observation, it was trivial to kludge a bogus filesystem into one of 'bdf' output streams. No, I don't have any TB filesystems, either.

Then, I simply turned on the debugging trace framework you built and examined its output.

Having well written, well-documented code is always a pleasure to read, but when the author takes the time to add (and _LEAVE _IN_) a robust debugging framework, the benefits are enormous.

Thanks for the opportunity to help, Bill.

Regards!

James, the fix does seem to work:

If anyone cares, I'm running HPUX 11.31.

Bill: I'll guess you'll be releasing a new version? :-)

Thanks again!

So cool.....I've been a bit out of touch lately, but downloaded your bdfmegs and gave it a try on a couple file systems I have that are just over a terabyte. Works nice...

/dev/meta1/msarip 168.5g 49.8g 117.8g 30% /m-inprocess
/dev/meta1/mlib01 1011.1g 831.8g 177.9g 82% /m-lib01
/dev/meta1/mlib02 1011.1g 256.0g 749.2g 25% /m-lib02
/dev/meta1/mlib03 269.6g 991 266.6g 0% /m-lib03

Thanks Mr. Hassell, sorry I'll miss you and Patrick Monday since I'm taking one of the other seminars....but looking forward to Vegas!

Rgrds,
Rita

Here is the fixed version - 5.1

[Patrick Ware_1]

Bill, when I try to run version 5.1, I am getting the following:

# bdfmegs
interpreter "/usr/bin/sh" not found
sh: bdfmegs: not found.

I've used previous versions, and never have seen this. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[Patrick Ware_1]

Nevermind, there were extra characters in the file...

Works good now.

Hi Patrick Ware,

this happens when ftp'ing files in binary mode instead than ascii (and in this case the tool of Bill is an ascii file).

Hope this helps you in the future.

Best regards,
Fabio

[Fabio Ettore]

...and compliments and thanks to Bill for this interesting tool!

Hi Bill,

Thank you for this announcement, I 'd like to ask that if it is good for HP-UX 11i v1 ?

[Bill Hassell]

It has been tested with 10.xx and all versions of 11i.

I did fix a bug where the -N and -V options would match a partial VGname (as in vg01 and vg011) so attached is version 5.2.
