Eyal is speaking of the IS1200 solution – we’re looking at it also as a potential solution for just this problem.

Hi !

1. You can use "df -i" command to know how many inodes you have. This would be higher than the number of files (since it'll represent directories as well) but would be a good estimate for the ceiling.

2. Look at Kazeon - NetApp resells them.

Hi!  I have several NetApp filers with close to 25TBs of user data stored on
them (Best guess is that there is some 50 million files, but we aren't sure
as our backup software only backups the current data set, not the
snapshots).  We are looking to consolidate down the environment given the
latest storage capacities and thought I would ask the community here what
tools that they used to understand what data needed to be migrate, what data
needed to be destroyed, and what the data costs in terms of per user and
department?  We have the costing for the storage down to a per $ fee per
MB/GB.

Any thoughts?  We have tried some freeware and shareware programs, but they
require weeks, if not months of personnel time to make sense out of the data
that they collect.  We are looking for a packaged solution.

Thank you for your help.
