File system status

Each node in an HCP system has multiple file systems on its primary storage. At installation time, a fixed amount of space and a fixed number of inodes are allocated to each of those file systems. Each NFS volume associated with a node has a single file system with a fixed amount of space and a fixed number of inodes.

Inodes determine the total number of files and directories a file system can have. (These files and directories do not have a direct correspondence to the objects and directories that users create.)

On the Storage Node page for a given node, when you click on the row that shows the file system status summary, the Console displays the following information about each file system on each primary storage volume and NFS volume that’s managed by the node:

Path — The directory path

Free 1K Blocks — The amount of available storage associated with the file system, in one-KB blocks

Total 1K Blocks — The total amount of storage associated with the file system, in one-KB blocks

Block Usage — The percent of the storage blocks currently in use

Inode Usage — The percent of the allocated inodes currently in use

Note: The file systems listed include those used for the operating system. Therefore, the total amount of storage associated with all the file systems for a node is greater than the total amount of storage associated with the logical volumes displayed for that node.
