UNC free space calculation

[evilmonkey]

Can you publish what formula you use to calculate percentage free for UNC?


Using linux RMA we get a discrepency on Debian based system. e.g.:

OS says:
9.1G 7.2G 1.5G 84% /var

Where 84% is amount used

HM says:
Reply: 21%

Where alert is set to alert on percent < 20%

I've also seen different behaviour than the above from RedHat where the mount didn't work (e.g. /var) but adding the dev device did.

I don't think this is a problem with RMA seems more like someone is using the HD idea of disk and the other the OS idea of disk.

Actually, RMA uses standard function statfs() to retrieve free space information. What exact free space parameter do you check: free space for current user or the total free space?

Code is pretty simple

Code: Select all

  struct statfs statbuf;
  if (statfs(path, &statbuf)==0)
  {
     total = (int64)(statbuf.f_blocks) * statbuf.f_bsize;
     free  = (int64)(statbuf.f_bfree)  * statbuf.f_bsize;
     freeforuser = (int64)(statbuf.f_bavail) * statbuf.f_bsize;
     return True;
  }
  else return False;
