bdfmegs ver 5.0

[Bill Hassell]

The latest version of bdfmegs is attached. The major changes are multiple -V vgnames and -N to exclude one or more vgnames.

The -V option can now be repeated many times, like this:

bdfmegs -V vg00 -Vvgextra,vg01,vg12

The new -N option is the opposite of -V. It can be used to not show selected vgnames, like this:

bdfmegs -N vg01,vg02

For those that have not used bdfmegs before, here are the help details:

Usage: bdfmegs [ -cghlNPpqstuVv ] [ ]
where:
-c # = Sort on column #
-g = show gigabytes, otherwise megabytes
-h = Usage (return code=0, Usage to stdout)
-l = local (no NFS)
-N = skip one or more volume groups
Repeat -N or use commas: -N vg10,vg24
-p ## = highlight % -ge ##
-P ## = show only % -ge ##
-q = suppress header line and no char enhancements
-s = summarize total, used and available
-t = specifc filesystem: (hfs vxfs nfs cdfs cifs autofs DevFS)
-u = usage (return code=0, Usage to stdout)
-v = verbose (type, version, largefiles)
(version info read permission for mountpoint)
-V = select one or more volume groups
Repeat -V or use commas: -V vg00,vg01

File(s) or dirpath(s) may be specified to limit
the output of bdfmegs as in:

bdfmegs -vlg /usr/contrib/bin /var/tmp

If bdfmegs is run as bdfgigs (ie, a link), then -g is default.

Great! Thanks Bill.

[Patrick Wallek]

Most excellent!!!! And thank you very much for the '-N' option. I **WILL DEFINITELY** use that.

(I have signed up for your Monday class!!!)

Hey there. If you don't mind me reporting a "bug", it can't read volume larger than 1 terabyte... see below :

Look at the /dumps volume.

Hi Bill:

It looks like some left-over 32-bit shell arithmetic was exposed by Patrick's data (immediately above this post of mine).

In your 'TGconv()' function, a potential fix is:

Instead of:

[ $SUMFLAG -eq 0 ] && NUM=$(($1/$DIV)) || NUM=$1

Substitute:

if [ $SUMFLAG -eq 0 ]; then
NUM=$(echo "$1 $DIV"|awk 'END{printf "%d", $1/$2}')
else
NUM=$1
fi

Regards!

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

>JRF: It looks like some left-over 32-bit shell arithmetic was exposed by Patrick's data

On 11.23, if you use ksh, you get 64 bit arithmetic.

[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.

[Fabio Ettore]

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!

[Hakki Aydin Ucar]

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.
