Veritas volume size

[dandan123]

I'm trying to determine the size of a veritas volume (vfs1)

Vxprint output -

v vfs1 - ENABLED ACTIVE 33554432 SELECT - fsgen

df -k
/dev/vx/dsk/dbdg/vfs1
16514554 8559826 7789583 53% /opt/sybase/vfs1

du -sk vfs1
8559826 vfs1

from the above, vxprint reports 33,554,432 sectors, df -k reports 16 Gig, and du -sk reports 8 Gig.

Can anyone decipher for me ?

Thanks

Dan

A sector is 512 bytes, so the 33,554,432 sectors that vxprint is reporting is 16 GB. Divide it by 2 and you get 16,777,216 kilobytes, which is 16 GB.

The command "[tt]du[/tt]" is to report Disk Usage, not total disk space. That's just how much is used. That's also the second number reported by the "[tt]df -k[/tt]". Notice that they match.

So, they are all reporting that you have a 16 GB drive that is 53% full because it has just over 8 GB worth of files on it.

Hope this helps.
