NAME
     inndf - Report free disk, inodes, and overview information

SYNOPSIS
     inndf [-Fhi] [-f filename] directory [directory ...]

     inndf -n

     inndf -o

DESCRIPTION
     inndf  was  originally  a replacement for "df | awk" in innwatch.ctl(5) and
     innstat(8), and now also reports  various	other  usage  information  about
     INN's  storage  that  df(1)  doesn't understand.  inndf doesn't sync, forks
     less, and is generally less complicated than df(1).

     Its default behavior is to report free kilobytes (not disk blocks), or free
     inodes if -i is used, in the file systems holding the directories given  on
     the  command  line.   (A kilobyte in this case is 1024 bytes.)  If only one
     directory is given, the output will be a simple number; if  more  than  one
     directory is given, the output will be formatted for human readability.

     If enableoverview is set to true in inn.conf, inndf can also be used to get
     information  about the overview database.	With the -n option, it reports a
     count of the total number of overview records stored.  With -o, it  reports
     the  percentage  of space used in the overview database (for those overview
     methods where this is meaningful data).

OPTIONS
     -f filename
	 filename should contain a list of directories to  use	in  addition  to
	 those	given  by the arguments, one per line.	Blank lines and anything
	 after "#" on any line are ignored.

     -F  Like -f except that the filename is pathetc/filesystems and it  is  not
	 an error if this file doesn't exist.  (This option is used primarily by
	 such things as innstat(8), so that the news administrator can add addi-
	 tional  file  systems to check to pathetc/filesystems without having to
	 modify the script.)

     -h  Print a usage message and exit.

     -i  Report the number of free inodes rather than the amount  of  free  disk
	 space.

     -n  Report the total number of records in the overview database.  Note that
	 crossposted  articles	will have one overview record for each newsgroup
	 they're posted to.

     -o  Report the percentage usage of the overview database  space.	This  is
	 only meaningful for overview methods that pre-allocate a certain amount
	 of space rather than grow to accommodate more records.  Currently, this
	 flag is only useful for the buffindexed overview method.

EXAMPLES
     Print the free kilobytes in pathspool as a simple number:

	 inndf <pathspool in inn.conf>

     Report  the  free inodes in pathnews and pathspool in a format designed for
     human readability:

	 inndf -i <pathnews> <pathspool>

     The same, but also add in all file systems in pathetc/filesystems:

	 inndf -i -F <pathnews> <pathspool>

     Print out the number of overview records and the percentage space used by a
     buffindexed overview database:

	 inndf -no

HISTORY
     inndf was written by Ian Dickinson <idickins@fore.com>.  This  manual  page
     was  written by Swa Frantzen <Swa.Frantzen@belgium.eu.net>.  Thanks also to
     the following folks for ports, patches, and comments:

	 Mahesh Ramachandran <rr@eel.ufl.edu>

     and to all the other folks I met and worked with during my 10  years  as  a
     newsadmin.

     Katsuhiro Kondou added the -n and -o options.  Russ Allbery added reporting
     of  percentage  free disk space.  Support for -f and -F was added by Fabien
     Tassin <fta@sofaraway.org>.
