bdf output in megabytes on 11.23

[Steven Richards]

Hi,

I found a really useful script on the forums that produced all my bdf output into nice columns and into megabytes for HPUX 11.00 and 11.11, but this doesn't seem to work on Itanium 11.23, has anyone got a script that'll do this for 11.23?

Your time and help are much appreciated.

hi,

did you use the bdfmegs script?

Are you talking about the bdfmegs script? If so, what errors are you getting? I have just put bdfmegs on an 11.23 PI (PA-RISC) and it works fine.

Can you post the output from the command?

[Steven Richards]

Yes, I believe it is called bdfmegs. Is there a version for 11.23 Itanium?

[I setup link called bdfm as I couldn't be bothered to type bdfmegs everytime!]

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

I haven't tried it on 11.23, but here is bdfmegs (attached). You might want to re-install.

Sorry - don't have an Itanium to test on - add a set -x to the top of the script and post the output if you can...

If bdfmegs script - it uses df to get mount point sizes...

When you say it doesn't seem to work, what exactly is it doing differently (or not doing)?

[Steven Richards]

Apologies if I was being a bit vague.

It would appear my version of bdfmegs was a bit out of date, I used the version pete attached and it works no problem, although I do get a strange line of zero's, sometimes in the middle, sometimes at the end, but I can live with that.

My version was hanging on the Itanium servers in the middle of the listing and I would have to 'ctrl-c' to end it. Whatever caused this obviously got fixed in the more recent version.

Thanks for all your help.

[Patrick Wallek]

If you are interested, I have modified a version of bdfmegs so that it prints the output in GB instead of MB.

It is attached and called bdfg.

[Steven Richards]

Patrick,

Thank you, much appreciated.

This is the latest version. I started to work on VxVM filesystems a while ago but got sidetracked. The -v option doesn't work for the Veritas Volume Manager as fsadm doesn't work with VxVM filesystems.

Bill,

Actually, it doesn't work. I get the following message:

root on pizarro[bin] bdfmegs
interpreter "/usr/bin/sh" not found
sh: bdfmegs: not found.

Any ideas?

[Patrick Wallek]

It worked for me, but I had to do a:

# dos2ux bdfmegs.new > bdfmegs

to strip the ^M's from the file.

It also sounds like the shell specification in the first line is invalid in the script for some reason.

[Steven Richards]

Patrick

dos2ux seemed to fix it, thanks.

I've run across an another problem with the code in bdfmegs. Where would be a good place to have that discussion? Here, in another thread or offline?

[Borislav Perkov]

Hi Steve,

Here I have one modified script showing also inodes.

Borislav

OK, just a tiny bit besides the issue here, but why a script?

Fetch the source for 'di' from http://www.gentoo.com/di/ and install that :)

FYI I have just uploaded di-4.1 software depots for 10.20, 11.00, and 11.11v1

http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/di-4.1-10.20.sd.bz
http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/di-4.1-11.00.sd.bz
http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/di-4.1-11.11.sd.bz

I'll see if I can manage to make a 4.1-11.23 too from a testdrive

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

The moonphase on the td176 was good:

Please enjoy it's power

The problem I encounter occurs whenever you have more than one mount point from the same NFS source.

My nornal bdf output includes the following;

nasunix:/mrcdoc 8786112 53776 8732336 1% /mrcdoc
nasunix:/prod 6195432 2139152 4056280 35% /prod
nasunix:/u 17573248 13503560 4069688 77% /u

with bdfmegs, it shows as;

nasunix:/mrcdoc 8580 53 8528 1% /mrcdoc
nasunix:/mrcdoc 8580 53 8528 1% /mrcdoc
nasunix:/mrcdoc 8580 53 8528 1% /mrcdoc


I traced it back to the MYMOUNTS line. It occurs due to the fact that the delimiter, a ":", is used inthe NFS mout definition.

MYMOUNTS=$(cat $MNTLIST | awk '{print $2":"$3":"$1}')


I changed the delimiter to a pipe ("|").

MYMOUNTS=$(cat $MNTLIST | awk '{print $2"|"$3"|"$1}')

Additionally, the following lines need to be changed reflect the different delimiter also;

MOUNTPOINT=$(echo $MNTINFO | cut -f1 -d"|")
SOURCE=$( echo $MNTINFO | cut -f3 -d"|" )
FSTYPE=$( echo $MNTINFO | cut -f2 -d"|" )

If folks are finding value in having different units for bdf output, it might be a good idea to fire-up those support contracts and submit Enhancement Requests... then the onus of making sure that stuff works falls on HP :)

[Bill Hassell]

Thanks for the feedback. I will be fixing the : delimiter problem and also adding a bdfgigs version (same script, link the additional name for Gbyte display). The inode list is really only useful for HFS filesystems--VxFS filesystems create inodes on the fly. I'll post a new thread and reply to this one when it is ready. Thanks for the feedback about the ^M as this is always a possibility when attaching a Unix file. I'll make sure the file is properly attached.

[Patrick Wallek]

Bill,

One question I have about the source code. In the statement 'awk '{print int($1/1024+.5)}'', why are you adding .5 to the result of $1/1024? I think I know the reason, but I'm just curious to see if I'm right.

Thanks!
