Inodes Usage option in cpanel

AndreiGhesi

Hi,

Today I was searching for a plugin that show inode usage in cpanel by folders but I did not find something that can be used by the clients without my intevention.

on my searches I found this page:

https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9331/29/how-to-check-the-number-of-inodes-in-your-hosting-account

You see the Inode usage icon in cpanel, Is that a plugin that I don't know about or is a custom-made in-house plugin by namecheap team ?

thanks

In WHM's tweak settings, enable "Display File Usage information in the cPanel stats bar (inode count)".

Namecheap must have created this a custom in-house plugin for inode usage.

This seems like a custom in-house plugin. Most probably a wrapper around du --inodes

Seems like a pretty interesting side project to tinker on. I should take a look at developing something similar.

@AndreiGhesi - I've written a quick hack (hack-ish plugin) that does this functionality. Will improve the code and share on Github soon.

That's part of Cloudlinux, it's what @WhichGunDotCom said.

I haven't seen CL add something like this. If so, I'll be wasting my time.

Fran, is there a setting on CL that add something like this? https://namecheap.simplekb.com//SiteContents/2-7C22D5236A4543EB827F3BD8936E153E/media/inodes7.png

CL just give you the total inode usage in the cpanel left/right menu. What I was asking is a option to see a tree usage of the inodes used by folders, like namechep plugin.
