Auditing Large Unix File Systems?

Posted by Cliff on from the getting-the-whole-picture dept.

jstockdale asks: "The recent article on perpendicular recording hard drive technology brought me, as a unix(tm) admin, to reflect on the management of data systems and file servers of capacities >1TB (which exist today and tomorrow will become commonplace). Since Google for once seems useless, what suggestions does the Slashdot crowd have on methods and software to audit changes, visualize file system usage, and in general to determine the qualitative and quantitative nature of the content of large unix file systems?"

    A similar program for linux is FSV. In one mode, it gives you a 3D (OpenGL) view of just such a map of your filesystem.
