Worked example

Inputs

Free inodes
500000 inodes
Created files per day
30000 files/day
Removed files per day
5000 files/day

Expected results

Net inode use per day
25000 inodes/day
Days until exhaustion
20 days

How to use this tool

  1. Enter free inodes, created files per day, removed files per day in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate the scenario, then compare it with measurements before changing a system.

Try this example

{
  "free": 500000,
  "create": 30000,
  "remove": 5000
}

Accuracy and scope

Each new file uses one inode; directory creation, hard links and variable rates excluded.
