       idspace(1M)                                              idspace(1M)


       NAME
             idspace - determine if there is enough file system 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(1M)].  By default, idspace checks
             the number of available disk blocks and inodes in three file
             systems: / (and, if they exist) /usr, and /tmp.

             The default tests performed by idspace are:

                   Verify that the root file system (/) 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 file system exists.  If it does
                   exist, idspace checks whether 400 free blocks and 100
                   inodes are available in the /usr file system.  If the
                   file system 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 file system, and space requirements are covered by
                   the idspace test of the root file system.

                   Determine whether a /tmp file system exists.  If it does
                   exist, idspace checks whether 400 free blocks and 100
                   inodes are available in the /tmp file system.  As with
                   the test for the /usr file system, if the /tmp file
                   system does not exist, idspace does not report an error,
                   because files created in /tmp by the reconfiguration
                   process will be created in the root file system, and
                   space requirements are covered by the idspace test of
                   the root file system.

          Options
             idspace takes the following options:





                           Copyright 1994 Novell, Inc.               Page 1













      idspace(1M)                                              idspace(1M)


            -i inodes Override the default test for 100 inodes for all
                      three of the idspace file system 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 (/) file system, and
                      test for the specified number of blocks instead.
                      When the -r option is used, the /usr and /tmp file
                      systems are not tested.

            -u blocks Override the default test for 400 blocks when
                      checking the /usr file system, and test for the
                      specified number of blocks instead.  When the -u
                      option is used, the root (/) and /tmp file systems
                      are not tested.  If /usr is not a separate file
                      system, an error is reported.

            -t blocks Override the default test for 400 blocks when
                      checking the /tmp file system, and test for the
                      specified number of blocks instead.  When the -t
                      option is used, the root (/) and /usr file systems
                      are
                      not tested.  If /tmp is not a separate file system,
                      an error is reported.

         Errors
            An exit value of zero indicates success.  If insufficient
            space exists in a file system 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     File system has insufficient space or inodes

            3     Requested file system does not exist (-u and -t options
                  only).
