Give me a mechanism to know how many files are on the file system and
I might be able to give you an idea.
Basically this is doing a
find /
I don't think there is a way to know how many files are left.
Poking around with a couple of commands gave me some results:
# e2fsck -nv /dev/mapper/slsvg-usrvol
91208 regular files
11779 directories
0 character device files
0 block device files
0 fifos
20300 links
642 symbolic links (642 fast symbolic links)
0 sockets
--------
123929 files
# find /usr -xdev | wc
123929 123929 7687890
I wasn't able to get good timings, because even running the e2fsck command seemed to
help the find command run faster. I'd expect though that either of those commands
will complete more quickly than the
fetch-the-name;fetch-its-attribute;get-the-context;get-the-correct-context;compare-them;write-the-new-context
loop. Whether that would be sufficiently more quickly to justify the extra overhead time
in setting it up is an experiment I don't have the leisure time to conduct at the
moment ;-).
