statvfs system call and vxfs file systems

[wendy sechler]

Given that the inodes are dynamically allocated in a vxfs file system, are the following fields of the stat structure that is returned by the statvfs() system call still valid for vxfs file systems?
stat.f_files total # of inodes
stat.f_ffree total # of free inodes
stat.f_favail # of inodes available to non-super users

Hi,
Yes, it is still valid, because inode allocation are not done one bye one, when a vxfs filesystem needs inodes, it allocate a bunch of inode, so you still have a # of inode, of free inode, and the limitation for non root user still exist, it is 2% by default,(and 10% for HFS) but you can modify it.

Cheers.
