NAME

df_vxfs - report the number of free disk blocks and inodes for a VxFS file system

SYNOPSIS


AVAILABILITY

VRTSvxfs

DESCRIPTION

The df command prints the number of free blocks and free inodes in VxFS file systems based on the counts kept in the super-blocks.

VxFS dynamically allocates inodes from a pool of free blocks. The number of free inodes and blocks reported by df is an estimate based on the number of free 8K or larger extents and the current ratio of allocated inodes to allocated blocks. (Extents smaller than 8K may not be usable for all types of allocation, so df does not count free blocks in extents smaller than 8K.) Allocating additional blocks may therefore decrease the count of free inodes and vice versa.

If the argument to df is a special device name, then the corresponding file system need not be in a mounted state. If the argument is a directory, then df displays information for the file system containing that directory.


OPTIONS

generic_options
Supported by the generic df command.
-o
Specifies VxFS file system-specific options. Only one suboption may be specified at a time.
s
Prints the number of free extents of each size. Free extents are always an integral power of two in length, ranging from a minimum of one block to the maximum extent size supported by the file system.
snapstat
Reports the number of free disk blocks on the specified snapshot file system.
vols
Displays the values of devid, total_space, and free_space of individual volumes of a volume set.
