NAME

mfsmetadirinfo - uses MooseFS metadata to calculate precise directory information (similar to mfsdirinfo)

SYNOPSIS

mfsmetadirinfo [-f J|C|C x] [-o outputfile] [-a sum_name] metadata_file PATH [PATH...]

DESCRIPTION

mfsmetadirinfo is a tool that can be used to calculate precise directory information such as number of inodes, number of chunks, total length of all files, size, real size etc. Output can be generated as plain text, CSV or JSON. Data for calculations is read from indicated metadata.mfs mfs master metadata file and is calculated for directory(ies) specified by PATH parameter(s) - relative in mfs instance. Default output is human-readable plain text, JSON or CSV can be selected using options.

Options:

-f

switch output format to JSON (J) or CSV (C); for CSV, if only C is specified, default separator will be used (comma), if second character is specified, this character will be used as the separator in CSV data

-o

write output to outputfile instead of stdout

-a

optional parameter that indicates the tool should calculate the information for all supplied paths together (a sum), this calculation is indicated by sum_name in output data

metadata_file

path to metadata.mfs file

OUTPUT FIELDS

For each PATH and, if defined, for sum_name, following information will be indicated:

inodes

number of all unique inodes (file system objects)

files

number of all unique files

dirs

number of all unique directories

chunks

number of all unique chunks

kchunks

number of all unique chunks using KEEP policy

achunks

number of all unique chunks using ARCH policy

length

total length of all unique files

size

total size of all unique chunks

rsize

total real size of all unique chunks (number of copies taken into account)

ksize

hypothetical real size of all unique chunks if all were using KEEP policy

asize

hypothetical real size of all unique chunks if all were using ARCH policy
