Which is nowhere near adequate in all cases: Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2 703246224 626354966 69858796 90% /export/data Filesystem iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2 16688199 67187641 20% /export/data Note that this filesystem already has more files than a maximum size Multiterabyte UFS (16TB->16 million inodes). My understanding is that the argument is that fsck could take indefinitely long. I know that fsck on this takes about 3 hours, although you would have to ask what goes wrong to need an fsck. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
