Hi

Determining the Number of Active JFS Inodes in Use

# vxfsstat -v / | grep inuse
vxi_icache_curino 128001 vxi_icache_inuseino 635

"...Note that the current number of inodes (128,001) is greater than the maximum number of inodes (128,000). This behavior is normal as there are few exceptions that allow allocating a few additional inodes in the cache..."

Sorry,

I think this is the important comment since inode and threads are interchangable here, also on page 18.

"...The inode cache is filled with 128,001 inodes but only 635 are in use. The remaining inodes are inactive, and if they remain inactive one of the vxfsd daemon threads will start freeing the inodes after a certain period of time...."

I wouldn't think interchangeable since one thread should handle multiple inodes.
And you have two different policemen here, the kernel and Symantec. They may have different bribing policies. :-)

>the vxfsd daemon threads will start freeing the inodes

Thanks for letting us know one purpose of vxfsd.

Dennis:

Thanks for pointing that out. I suppose I was trying to say the question was about threads but really links back to inodes. Sorry for the mistake. Thanks!

I think it will just be one of those mysteries that make life such a treat:-)

Thanks allfor your input anyway,
