We can use the following command to calculate the inode usage of a directory. It will be used in troubleshooting the “Disk quota” issue in cPanel server to find out which directory is using highest number of inodes

=====

printf “===\nInode usage :$(pwd)\n===\n\n”;for i in `find -maxdepth 1 -type d|cut -d ‘/’ -f2|grep -xv .|sort`;  do tot=$(find $i|wc -l);printf “$tot \t\t -> $i \n” ;done; printf “Total:\t \t $(find $(pwd)|wc -l) \n”
