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,

It is sometimes hard to find a generic solution to a filesystem
specific problem.
Which filesystem are you using?
