idspace -- determine if there is enough filesystem free space

Synopsis

/etc/conf/bin/idspace [-i inodes] [-r blocks | -u blocks | -t blocks]

Description

One of the ID/TP kernel configuration tools, idspace checks whether sufficient free space exists to perform a kernel reconfiguration (see idbuild(ADM)). By default, idspace checks the number of available disk blocks and inodes in three filesystems: / and, if they exist, /usr, and /tmp.

The default tests performed by idspace are:

Verify that the root filesystem (/) has 400 blocks more than the size of the current /stand/unix. This verifies that a device driver being added to the current /stand/unix can be built and placed in the root filesystem. idspace also checks to ensure that 100 inodes exist in the root directory.
Determine whether a /usr filesystem exists. If it does exist, idspace checks whether 400 free blocks and 100 inodes are available in the /usr filesystem. If the filesystem does not exist, idspace does not report an error, however, because files created in /usr by the reconfiguration process will be created in the parent root filesystem, and space requirements are covered by the idspace test of the root filesystem.
Determine whether a /tmp filesystem exists. If it does exist, idspace checks whether 400 free blocks and 100 inodes are available in the /tmp filesystem. As with the test for the /usr filesystem, if the /tmp filesystem does not exist, idspace does not report an error, because files created in /tmp by the reconfiguration process will be created in the root filesystem, and space requirements are covered by the idspace test of the root filesystem.

Options

idspace takes the following options:

-i inodes: Override the default test for 100 inodes for all three of the idspace filesystem space checks, and test for the specified number of inodes instead.
-r blocks: Override the default test for /stand/unix size + 400 blocks when checking the root (/) filesystem, and test for the specified number of blocks instead. When the -r option is used, the /usr and /tmp filesystems are not tested.
-u blocks: Override the default test for 400 blocks when checking the /usr filesystem, and test for the specified number of blocks instead. When the -u option is used, the root (/) and /tmp filesystems are not tested. If /usr is not a separate filesystem, an error is reported.
-t blocks: Override the default test for 400 blocks when checking the /tmp filesystem, and test for the specified number of blocks instead. When the -t option is used, the root (/) and /usr filesystems are not tested. If /tmp is not a separate filesystem, an error is reported.

Exit codes

An exit value of zero indicates success. If insufficient space exists in a filesystem or an error was encountered due to a syntax or format error, idspace reports the error in a message. The specific exit values are as follows:

0: successful completion
1: command syntax error, or needed file does not exist
2: filesystem has insufficient space or inodes
3: requested filesystem does not exist (-u and -t options only)
