Counting inodes (files, folders, symlinks)

Many hosts restrict the number of inodes you can use on a VPS or shared account.

If you have shell access, the following commands are useful to determine how many inodes you are using:

ls -R /path/to/directory | /usr/bin/wc

cd /path/to/directory
for i in $(ls);do echo -n "`pwd`/$i: ";find $i -print|wc -l 2>/dev/null;done
