thin_metadata_size - thin provisioning metadata device/file size calculator.
SYNOPSIS
thin_metadata_size [options]
DESCRIPTION
thin_metadata_size calculates the size of the thin provisioning metadata based on the block size of the thin provisioned devices, the size
of the thin provisioning pool and the maximum number of all thin prisioned devices and snapshots. Because thin provisioning pools are
holding widely variable contents, this tool is needed to provide sensible initial default size.
-b, --block-size BLOCKSIZE[bskKmMgGtTpPeEzZyY]
Block size of thin provisioned devices in units of bytes,sectors,kilobytes,kibibytes,... respectively. Default is in sectors with-
out a block size unit specifier. Size/number option arguments can be followed by unit specifiers in short one character and long
form (eg. -b1m or -b1megabytes).
-s, --pool-size POOLSIZE[bskKmMgGtTpPeEzZyY]
Thin provisioning pool size in units of bytes,sectors,kilobytes,kibibytes,... respectively. Default is in sectors without a pool
size unit specifier.
-m, --max-thins #[bskKmMgGtTpPeEzZyY]
Maximum sum of all thin provisioned devices and snapshots. Unit identifier supported to allow for convenient entry of large quanti-
ties, eg. 1000000 = 1M. Default is absolute quantity without a number unit specifier.
-u, --unit {bskKmMgGtTpPeEzZyY}
Output unit specifier in units of bytes,sectors,kilobytes,kibibytes,... respectively. Default is in sectors without an output unit
specifier.
-n, --numeric-only [short|long]
Limit output to just the size number with the optional unit specifier character/string.
-h, --help
Print help and exit.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXAMPLES
Calculates the thin provisioning metadata device size for block size 64 kilobytes, pool size 1 terabytes and maximum number of thin provi-
sioned devices and snapshots of 1000 in units of sectors with long output:
thin_metadata_size -b64k -s1t -m1000
Or (using the long options instead) for block size 1 gigabyte, pool size 1 petabytes and maximum number of thin provisioned devices and
snapshots of 1 million with numeric only output in units of gigabytes:
thin_metadata_size --block-size=1g --pool-size=1p --max-thins=1M --unit=g --numeric-only
Same as before (1g,1p,1M,numeric-only) but with unit specifier character appended:
thin_metadata_size --block-size=1giga --pool-size=1petabytes --max-thins=1mebi --unit=g --numeric-only=short
Or with unit specifier string appended:
thin_metadata_size --block-size=1giga --pool-size=1petabytes --max-thins=1mebi --unit=g -nlong
DIAGNOSTICS
thin_metadata_size returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
It doesn't matter the amount of used memory as application is intended to perform many transactions; rather, what I want to achieve is to... (2 Replies)
