we have a xserve g5 and a xserve xraid with 1.2TB.
our problem is, that the raid is constantly full. we delete files or
compress pictures so we have e.g. 100GB free space, but after a few
days there are only 40 or 30GB free (and the xraid is going to be
really slow).
the raid is used by graphic designers and without quota-management
it is impossible to teach them to be as efficient as possible.
Bullets work. Public ridicule and pillories less so.
therefore we would like to know, if it is possible to
- identify, which folders are grown in comparison to yesterday
You'd need to maintain a history, but sure. Run du then run du a day
later, compare.
- which users are responsible for this grow
Presumably they own the files, no? `man find`
I thought about our backup-sw logfiles (psync to a firewire-drive,
rsync to another network-storage), but I can only see which files
are new and this doesn't help me in my need for the above mentioned
functions.
I'd recommend using neither of these tools. psync doesn't work with
Tiger and rsync has it's own issues.
are there any elegant sw-solutions out there?
du and find are elegant in the eye of the right beholder. ;)
