VOS_PARTINFO(1)

NAME
vos_partinfo - Reports the available and total space on a partition

SYNOPSIS
vos partinfo -server <machine name>
    [-partition <partition name>] [-cell <cell name>]
    [-noauth] [-localauth] [-verbose] [-help]

vos p -s <machine name> [-p <partition name>]
    [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
The vos partinfo command reports the amount of space available and total size on either all of the partitions on the indicated file server machine (if the -partition argument is omitted) or the specified partition on that file server machine. The Volume Location Database (VLDB) is not consulted.

CAUTIONS
Currently, the maximum size of a volume is 2 terabytes (2^31 bytes) and the maximum size of a /vicepX partition on a fileserver is also 2 terabytes. The fileserver will not report an error when it has access to a partition larger than 2 terabytes, but it will probably fail if the administrator attempts to use more than 2 terabytes of space. In addition, there are reports of erroneous disk usage numbers when vos partinfo or other OpenAFS disk reporting tools are used with partitions larger than 2 terabytes.

OPTIONS

-server <server name>
    Identifies the file server machine for which to display partition information. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see vos(1).

-partition <partition name>
    Identifies which partition on the file server machine specified by the -server argument for which to display information. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, "/vicepa") or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see vos(1).

-cell <cell name>
    Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-noauth
    Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-localauth
    Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /usr/afs/etc/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-verbose
    Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear.

-help
    Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

CAUTIONS
The partition-related statistics in this command's output do not always agree with the corresponding values in the output of the standard UNIX df command. The statistics reported by this command can be up to five minutes old, because the Cache Manager polls the File Server for partition information at that frequency. Also, on some operating systems, the df command's report of partition size includes reserved space not included in this command's calculation, and so is likely to be about 10% larger.

OUTPUT
The output reports the amount of space available and total space for each specified partition.

EXAMPLES
The following command displays all partitions on the file server machine "fs2.abc.com".

   % vos partinfo fs2.abc.com
   Free space on partition /vicepa: 27301 K blocks out of total 549197
   Free space on partition /vicepb: 13646 K blocks out of total 69194
   Free space on partition /vicepc: 31798 K blocks out of total 320315
   Free space on partition /vicepd: 33302 K blocks out of total 494954

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
