In this post, i will share on how to see how many inodes that i used on my servers on Linux server.
What is inodes ?
An inode is a data structure used to keep information about a file on your hosting account. The number of inodes indicates the number of files and folders you have. This includes everything on your account, emails, files, folders, anything you store on the server.
Reference
1. SSH to your server as a root.
2. Please note that this command will view the inodes for a specific folder.
echo "Detailed Inode usage for: $(pwd)" ; for d in `find -maxdepth 1 -type d |cut -d\/ -f2 |grep -xv . |sort`; do c=$(find $d |wc -l) ; printf "$c\t\t- $d\n" ; done ; printf "Total: \t\t$(find $(pwd) | wc -l)\n"
Go to your root directory then run this command :
[root@rhel6 ~]# cd / [root@rhel6 /]# echo "Detailed Inode usage for: $(pwd)" ; for d in `find -maxdepth 1 -type d |cut -d\/ -f2 |grep -xv . |sort`; do c=$(find $d |wc -l) ; printf "$c\t\t- $d\n" ; done ; printf "Total: \t\t$(find $(pwd) | wc -l)\n" Detailed Inode usage for: / 116 - bin 29 - boot 1 - cgroup 623 - dev 1579 - etc 5 - home 3598 - lib 1 - lost+found 10 - media 1 - misc 1 - mnt 1 - net 1 - opt 17533 - proc 55 - root 266 - sbin 1 - selinux 1 - srv 8994 - sys 1 - testfolder 12 - tmp 33003 - usr 12884 - var Total: 78719
