Is there a command line way other than 'ndir h:\mydirectory /s' to calculate the space used by a directory when all the files in that directory are uncompressed? 'ndir h:\mydirectory /s /spa' gives me the space compressed, but that does not tell me what the space uncompressed is.
My problem with 'ndir h:\mydirectory /s', which tells me space uncompressed, is it lists every file in the directory tree which can take forever for larger directories.
I also tried rdirused.exe from Novell, but it also returns space used by the files when they are compressed.
I am trying to calculate the space uncompressed used by all the home directories on our Novell servers. They are scattered throughout each volume. For instance a volume might have acct/home, is/home, payroll/home, etc.
Thanks,

Check out a product called Primasoft Disk Analyzer. It may help you out. Otherwise, I think NWadmin may be able to help you out, but you will probably have to do add the numbers manually.

NDIR, does provide you the space of files in their uncompressed as well as compressed space. Example of output:
211,637 bytes (when the files are not compressed)
98,816 bytes (disk space used by compressed and non-compressed files)
4 Files
16 Directories
This was an output I created by typing NDIR *.* at the root of one of my volumes.
Using the other switches /s for example will walk through the folders giving you totals for each. Pipe to a text file for use in Excel or some other program. Hope this helps.
