Greetings!

I'm curious if anyone on this list has looked at "agedu", in the context of
integrating it with Robinhood or adding similar functionality to the RBH
web interface:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/agedu/

"Suppose you're running low on disk space. You need to free some up, by
finding something that's a waste of space and deleting it (or moving it to
an archive medium). How do you find the right stuff to delete, that saves
you the maximum space at the cost of minimum inconvenience?"... agedu...
"does basically the same sort of disk scan as du, but it also records the
last-access times of everything it scans. Then it builds an index that lets
it efficiently generate reports giving a summary of the results for each
subdirectory, and then it produces those reports on demand."

The scanning part sounds like Robinhood, right?  I have tried it and found
it to be pretty slick on a small local file system, but it is terribly
inefficient when scaling up to a large file system.  I think that
integrating it with Robinhood would improve performance and the
functionality would be very useful to users in managing their data.

Regards,
Nathan
