[net.unix-wizards] # of inodes on a file system in 4.2?

nancy@resonex.UUCP (Nancy Blachman) (10/08/84)

How  does one find out the number of inodes on a particular file system?
Is there a system utility for finding out the number of free and total
inodes on a file system in 4.2BSD or has anyone written such a program?

It would be nice if there was a program "di" which told the number of 
inodes on each file system.

PS The reason I would like to know is that we ran out of inodes on
/usr/spool (because of usenet) and we would like to increase the
number of inodes.  I first need to find out the number so I can
determine by what amount to increase it.

Just "df -i", Nancy.

``df -i'' will show the # of inodes.  I made /usr/spool/news with newfs
using 1024 bytes per inode instead of the default 2048 on eneevax; this
seems to be a pretty good value even with the frag size at 512.  (All
those headers, probably! :-) )

Yes, somebody at Berkeley wrote such a program and put it on the 4.2BSD
system; it's called "df".  See the "-i" option on the manual page.
