find the rate of growing of filesystem

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I need to find out the gigabytes/hour growth in filesystem.:confused:

i am using df command for finding the filesystem size and free space every hour. But how can i find the increase in size per hour? :rolleyes:

Do i have to store the last hour entries in a file and comapre with the recent size and get the difference.? Or is there a way to determine the increase?

Thanks in advance:)

thank you..:slight_smile:

i am new to shell scripting...

can i use iostat for getting similar result for each mount point associated with the filesystem:confused:

Alos can i change the report to show only the rate of write per hour?:confused:

---------- Post updated at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:50 PM ----------

also when i do df -m |awk '{print $5 " " $2}

i am getting the megabytes occupied in each of the mount point

/u02 8717924
/u01 5562586

after one hour the space is increased by few bytes

i want to get the increase in megabytes/hour for each of these mounts -- /u01, /u02
report shpould be generated every hour for one week...
