The following program will traverse a directory tree and gather 
statistics about all files in that tree.  The goal is to get
an understanding of file activity on a server and to determine the
utility of using hierarchical storage management for servers in
general.  I am interested in anyone who would run this program
against their server to help us gather information about the
general state of file activity in the real world.  It has been
tested on Sun, Ultrix, RS/6000, SGI and Unicos platforms.  I ask
that it be run on your server(s) and the output be redirected to a file
and sent to me via email.  I will gather the statistics and
post a review of what I learn to comp.arch.storage.  Any suggestions
on improvements are appreciated.  I would ask that it be run at a
high enough level in your directory to provide information about
user generated and stored data, as opposed to system files.

Disclaimer: While I believe there are no capabilities for damaging
the file system this program is run against, it is up to the
individual running it to make sure it will cause no problems at their
site.  I take no responsibility for running this program.  A hint
would be to run it at night or over a weekend and to do so at a
resonable nice value.

Thanks for any help given.  I will post a complete summary after
responses come in.
