OK, I should've thought more throughly before I posted that... Of course nr_of_file != nr_of_inodes. I just needed the number of files on a filesystem, not inodes (and that number doesn't even have to be that precise), and I was just curious if there's another way than find to find out (ls -R maybe). But then, as I like to say (in german, sorry, not translatable): Find ist dein Freund... Thanks to those who made things clear for me again.. Felix <post> I am looking for alternatives for a seemingly simple question: I need the number of files on every mounted filesystem on the system. So far, I know I can use find -mount /mountpoint, which is OK, but I can only run that as root if I want to catch every file. Then there's the output of df -t, which shows, as far as I know, the number of free and total inodes (?), but if I subtract one from the other, that number sometimes differs from that one I get from find quite substantially. Am i missing something here? </post> -- Mit freundlichen Gr|_en / with kind regards Felix Schattschneider Deutsche Welle/IT-Betrieb +49 228 249 3729 || felix.schattschneider@dw-world.de _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Jul 7 08:17:47 2006
