[gpfsug-discuss] Independent fileset free inodes

[Simon Thompson (Research Computing - IT Services)]

I was just wondering if anyone had a way to return the number of free/used inodes for an independent fileset and all its children.

We recently had a case where we were unable to create new files in a child file-set, and it turns out the independent parent had run out of inodes.

mmsf however only lists the inodes used directly in the parent fileset, I.e. About 8 as that was the number of child filesets.

The suggestion from IBM support is that we use mmdf and then add up the numbers from all the child filesets to workout how many are free/used in the independent fileset.

Does anyone have a script to do this already?

Surely there is a better way?

Thanks

Simon
