Hi experts,

I am trying to find out the free space on my unix server with informix db.

I see this when I use df -k

file system 1024-blocks used available
/usr 10240000 5394233 4809512

does this mean allocated for /usr is 10GB or 10 MB?

Also I have my baan data in raw disk. I don't think df -k shows my free space in the raw disk. How do I find out the free space in the raw disk?

Thanks and regards,

Hi there,

df -h shows 'human readible' numbers.
10 million 1k blocks make around 10GB (that's why I don't use -h .... 1 MB isn't 10^6 bytes ... its 1024^2 ... 1 GB 1024^3)
Not firm in informix ... but isn't there something like 'onmonitor'?
The size of a raw device is the amount of diskspace allocated to it.
Only the DB-system using this raw device can tell you how much free space remains within the chunk.

Informix command onstat -d will show you how much free space (in pages) you have across your database.

Hi,

I don't need exact figures. For the figures I gave above, does it mean I have AROUND 10GB space allocated for /usr?

Cannot run df -h. No such parameter.
Is it your typo error? Do you mean df -k?

I log in using login id informix and tried command onstat -d. I got this error
'GLS initialization failed, error -23101'

What does this mean?

when i type in onmonitor, i get error 'unable to load locale categories'
Any idea what is wrong.

thanks and regards,

1. yes
2. -h is available on linux probably not on your platform.
3. I am not familiar with Informx so I am not going to try to answer these questions.

$ finderr 23101
-23101 Unable to load locale categories.

An invalid locale name was supplied for the locale initialization.
The environment variable to specify the locale category has a wrong
value. Check the value of the corresponding environment variable,
CLIENT_LOCALE or DB_LOCALE. Also check if INFORMIXDIR points to a valid
directory where Informix products are installed.

If a client application receives this error when it requests a database
server connection, check that the client and database locales are
compatible. They are compatible if a valid locale exists on the server
computer with the name lg_tr.codeset@mod, where lg_tr (language and
territory) and mod (locale modifier) are from the CLIENT_LOCALE and
codeset is from the database locale (from the DB_LOCALE, if it is set,
or as stored in the database).
