How to trace inodes usage ?

[bcostacurta]

Hello,

the quota of inodes on my server (via a host provider) is already used at more than 80%, and increasing regularly.

How to trace inodes usage ?
If inodes corresponds to files, how can print number of files per directory to check any abnormal high figures ?

Bye,
Bruno

You can use these commands:

echo "Detailed Inode usage for: $(pwd)" ; for d in `find -maxdepth 1 -type d |cut -d\/ -f2 |grep -xv . |sort`; do c=$(find $d |wc -l) ; printf "$c\t\t- $d\n" ; done ; printf "Total: \t\t$(find $(pwd) | wc -l)\n"
