-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I have an issue with a (client's) large (13T) filesystem, that fills up every now and then and nobody's quite sure what's doing it. I can run du, but that takes ages, and has a performance impact. df only gives the total for the filesystem, of course. Currently I'm running find occasionally, with fprintf to record filename, mtime and size, then analysing it (by importing it into postgres, fwiw) for new large files - but ideally I'd like to zero in by frequently checking sizes of whole directories. Is there any way to do that, perhaps by triggering off write calls, cheaply? I know that inotify/incron have their limitations when working with deep directory structures; I'd be interested to know of anything that can trigger on any writes to a particular filesystem. If I could start again, I'd put LVM on the array and use multiple LVs to allow du to work at lower levels, but that's not really practical at this stage. Any tips?
