I have e.g. a file system where most of the inodes space is used,
let's say 450k of 500k. What command(s) would I use to find out
which sub-directories are eating most of the inodes?
Well, I could use something like this:
$ find . -xdev -type d \
| while read f ; do \
printf "%d %s: " "$(find "$f" -xdev | wc -l)" "$f" ; \
done \
| sort -k1,1n
But this a) is lame and b) doesn't count hardlinks well.
Do we have such a command (option) already?
If not, what about a new du(1) option that reports inodes
instead of blocks/bytes statistics, i.e. "du --inodes"?
Have a nice day,
Berny
