inode count
 
Hello,

I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to find out what the inode usage is for a particular folder. I know that you can check it with a df -i for an entire FS, but that doesn't really help me. Any ideas?

A goofy hack off the top of my head:
Code:
%find some_folder -type f -exec ls -i {} \; > my-output
%awk '{print $1}' my-output | sort | uniq | wc -l
The sort/uniq combo is there to squeeze out duplicated instances of hard links. There may be a more elegant solution than this. ;)
