The following works fro me as an external procedure call:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int mount_space(char *fs)
{  FILE *c = NULL;
   char bfr[200];
   char dv[100];
   char dmy[6][80];
   int pv = 0;
   long int rv = -2;

   sprintf(dv, "/usr/bin/bdf %s\n", fs);
   c = popen(dv, "r");
   if(!c) return(-1);
   while(fgets(bfr, sizeof(bfr),c))
   {  sscanf(bfr, "%s %s %s %s %s %s",
             &dmy[0], &dmy[1], &dmy[2], &dmy[3], &dmy[4], &dmy[5]);
      if(!strncmp(dmy[5], fs, min(strlen(dmy[5]), strlen(fs))))
          rv = atol(dmy[3]);
      if(!strncmp(dmy[4], fs, min(strlen(dmy[4]), strlen(fs))))
          rv = atol(dmy[2]);
   }
   pv = pclose(c);
   return(rv);
}

It returns the available disk space, in KBYTES.  Add to that the bytes from 
dba_data_files for the same mount point & you've got total available disk 
space.  To build it run:

make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_no_callback 
SHARED_LIBNAME=<whatever you want>.so OBJS=same_as_before>.o

Subject: Getting disk info into oracle


OS = HP/UX
Oracle = 8.1.3.4

Anyone got a working script that may allow me to strip off from a "bdf"
the disk info?

What I'd really like to be able to do is capture the disk size that
normally won't change, and then the used and free amount of disk. I'd
like to bring this info in with a date stamp.

I'll take that and make a work table out of it.

Then I'd like to take that and merge the "auto extend" stuff with it and
keep it for historical purposes.

There is a small chance that perhaps we've got someone already doing
this or something very close.

They *MIGHT* have Perl here, but I'll have to check.

Some of these databases are growing by 1-2TB per year, and it would help
with the keeping up of which disks are getting full.

Thanks.
