Hi, For some time we have used a utility that came from this list or off the 'net somewhere called 'afsfree'. I don't know where it originally came from but thanks to it's authors anyway. It's a Tcl/Tk script that displays a bar chart of partition utilisation. As an attempt to learn Tcl/Tk I have made some mods to it to do things like list/examine/move volumes on a partition. I'm now getting ambitious and would like change the bar chart to show the amount of space used by RW RO and backup volumes, and to show the total quota allocated to all volumes on each partition. This is not easy - afsfree currently uses 'vos partinfo' to determine how full each partition is. To get information about each type of volume and it's max quota you would need to use 'vos listvol -long' which takes much longer to execute and produces verbose output that would need to be parsed by a perl script or similar. Perhaps a better solution would be a C program to get and format the required info from the AFS API. Once you have got the numbers it is still not easy to do anything sensible with them - RO volumes on the same server as the RW normally don't occupy any real disk space, should the quota for backup volumes be included in showing the total quota per partition etc. Has anyone written any scripts or programs to do this kind of thing? Does anyone have any suggestions about how you can sensibly show the degree to which the quota per volume exceeds the physical partition size? All suggestions gratefully received.

I f**ked about until it worked. :-)
