mc du
The mc du
command summarizes the disk usage of buckets and folders.
You can also use du
against the local filesystem to produce similar results as the du
command.
Syntax
Parameters
ALIAS
Required
The alias of a AIStor deployment and the full path to thefolder. For example:
mc du myminio/mybucket
You can specify multiple buckets and folders on the same or different AIStordeployment. For example:
mc du myminio/mybucket myminio/myotherbucket/myfolder
For a folder on a local filesystem, specify the full path to thatfolder. For example:
mc du ~/data/images
The time required for mc du
to complete depends on the size of the target buckets andfolders.
A large bucket may take some time to generate a disk usage summary.
--depth, d
Optional
Print the total for all folders N or fewer levels below the path specified in thecommand. Default is 0, for the specified path only.
--recursive
Alias: -r
Optional
Recursively print the total for each bucket or child folder.
--rewind
Optional
Directs mc du
to operate only on the object version(s) that
existed at specified point-in-time.
- To rewind to a specific date in the past, specify the date as an ISO8601-formatted timestamp.
For example:
--rewind "2020.03.24T10:00"
. - To rewind a duration in time, specify the duration as a string in
#d#hh#mm#ss
format. For example:--rewind "1d2hh3mm4ss"
.
--rewind
requires that the specified ALIAS
be an S3-compatible service
that supports Bucket Versioning.
For AIStor deployments, use mc version
to enable or disable bucket versioning.
Use --rewind
and --versions
together to show the disk usage for those object versions which existed at a specific point in time.
--versions
Optional
Directs mc du
to operate on all object versions that exist in the
bucket.
--versions
requires that the specified ALIAS
be an S3-compatible service
that supports Bucket Versioning.
For AIStor deployments, use mc version
to enable or disable bucket versioning.
Use --versions
and --rewind
together to show the disk usage for those object versions which existed at a specific point in time.
Global Flags
This command supports any of the global flags.
Examples
View the Disk Usage for a Bucket or Folder
Use mc du
to print a summary of the disk usage for a bucket or folder:
mc du ALIAS/PATH
- Replace
ALIAS
with thealias
of the S3-compatible host. - Replace
PATH
with the path to the bucket or folder on the S3-compatible host.
View the Disk Usage at a Point-In-Time
Use mc du --rewind
to print a summary of disk usage at a specific point-in-time in the past:
mc du --rewind DURATION ALIAS/PATH
- Replace
DURATION
with the desired point-in-time in thepast. For example, specify30d
to show the disk usage 30 days prior to the current date. - Replace
ALIAS
with thealias
of the S3-compatible host. - Replace
PATH
with the path to the bucket or folder on the S3-compatible host.
View the Disk Usage Recursively
Use mc du --recursive
to print a summary for each folder recursively:
mc du --recursive ALIAS/PATH
- Replace
ALIAS
with thealias
of the S3-compatible host. - Replace
PATH
with the path to the bucket or folder on the S3-compatible host.
Behavior
S3 Compatibility
The mc
commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with AIStor and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.
AIStor provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, As their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported.
While mc
commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
