NAME

6       inndf - Report free disk, inodes, and overview information
7

SYNOPSIS

9       inndf [-Fhi] [-f filename] directory [directory ...]
10
11       inndf -n
12
13       inndf -o
14

DESCRIPTION

16       inndf was originally a replacement for "df | awk" in innwatch.ctl(5)
17       and innstat(8), and now also reports various other usage information
18       about INN's storage that df(1) doesn't understand.  inndf doesn't sync,
19       forks less, and is generally less complicated than df(1).
20
21       Its default behavior is to report free kilobytes (not disk blocks), or
22       free inodes if -i is used, in the file systems holding the directories
23       given on the command line.  (A kilobyte in this case is 1024 bytes.)
24       If only one directory is given, the output will be a simple number; if
25       more than one directory is given, the output will be formatted for
26       human readability.
27
28       If enableoverview is set to true in inn.conf, inndf can also be used to
29       get information about the overview database.  With the -n option, it
30       reports a count of the total number of overview records stored.  With
31       -o, it reports the percentage of space used in the overview database
32       (for those overview methods where this is meaningful data).
33

OPTIONS

35       -f filename
36           filename should contain a list of directories to use in addition to
37           those given by the arguments, one per line.  Blank lines and
38           anything after "#" on any line are ignored.
39
40       -F  Like -f except that the filename is pathetc/filesystems and it is
41           not an error if this file doesn't exist.  (This option is used
42           primarily by such things as innstat(8), so that the news
43           administrator can add additional file systems to check to
44           pathetc/filesystems without having to modify the script.)
45
46       -h  Print a usage message and exit.
47
48       -i  Report the number of free inodes rather than the amount of free
49           disk space.
50
51       -n  Report the total number of records in the overview database.  Note
52           that crossposted articles will have one overview record for each
53           newsgroup they're posted to.
54
55       -o  Report the percentage usage of the overview database space.  This
56           is only meaningful for overview methods that pre-allocate a certain
57           amount of space rather than grow to accommodate more records.
58           Currently, this flag is only useful for the buffindexed overview
59           method.

EXAMPLES

62       Print the free kilobytes in pathspool as a simple number:
63
64           inndf <pathspool in inn.conf>
65
66       Report the free inodes in pathnews and pathspool in a format designed
67       for human readability:
68
69           inndf -i <pathnews> <pathspool>
70
71       The same, but also add in all file systems in pathetc/filesystems:
72
73           inndf -i -F <pathnews> <pathspool>
74
75       Print out the number of overview records and the percentage space used
76       by a buffindexed overview database:
77
78           inndf -no

95
96       Katsuhiro Kondou added the -n and -o options.  Russ Allbery added
97       reporting of percentage free disk space.  Support for -f and -F was
98       added by Fabien Tassin <fta@sofaraway.org>.
