Terminal disk space navigator 🔭

Overview

diskonaut

demo

How does it work?

Given a path on your hard-drive (which could also be the root path, eg. /). diskonaut scans it and indexes its metadata to memory so that you could explore its contents (even while still scanning!).

Once completed, you can navigate through subfolders, getting a visual treemap representation of what's taking up your disk space. You can even delete files or folders and diskonaut will track how much space you've freed up in this session.

  • Tests fail because diskonaut reports incorrect file sizes on filesystems with compression

    Tests fail because diskonaut reports incorrect file sizes on filesystems with compression

    On my machine and several CI builders, diskonaut tests fail. The problem is that the rust-filesize uses MetadataExt::blocks to get the number of file blocks:

    https://github.com/Freaky/rust-filesize/blob/e8042c00cebd215ac9f106e8b5a20b0c072fd77d/src/lib.rs#L72

    However, this method is not reliable. For example:

    $ cat blksize.rs 
    use std::fs;
    use std::os::unix::fs::MetadataExt;
    use std::io;
    
    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        let meta = fs::metadata("2pow20bytes")?;
        let blocks = meta.blocks();
        let block_size = meta.blksize();
        eprintln!("blocks: {}, block size: {}", blocks, block_size);
        Ok(())
    }
    $ rustc blksize.rs
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=2pow20bytes bs=1024 count=1024
    $ ls -l 2pow20bytes 
    -rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users 1048576 Jun 25 19:48 2pow20bytes
    $ ./blksize 
    blocks: 1, block size: 131072
    

    So, this will be reported as a 512 byte file(!), even though it is 1MiB. The wonders of (ZFS) filesystem compression.

    $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=2pow20bytes bs=1024 count=1024
    $ ./blksize 
    blocks: 2065, block size: 131072

    Emacs keybindings

    Fixes #36 ... again I've added a key! macro to make it easier to define patterns like Event::Key(Key::Char(..))

    In my first PR I think I replaced one of the other keybindings with \n when it was supposed to be n, so this should fix that, since the tests are working locally. Although for some reason if I run the same tests multiple times without changing the code I get different results.

  • Platform: windows port

    Platform: windows port

    There are two main things I know of that we need to do to port diskonaut to work on windows:

    1. Currently we rely on hard disk blocks to scan the hard-drive. As far as I know, this does not work on windows, and so we need to find another solution.
    2. Termion doesn't(?) work on windows, so we would need to use another backend for TUI.

    I am VERY interested in a solution for this. If you want to work on this and are unsure how to begin, or the points above are not clear, I would be very happy to discuss this with you further and clarify anything. Please do not hesitate. :)

  • Performance

    Performance

    Scanning large volumes with diskonaut takes some time. Not terrible (likely less than 10 minutes for really populated volumes) but this is still not the best experience.

    It could be nice to experiment with scanning parallelization, as long as it does not impact performance. I feel a slow scan is better than a fast scan that makes your computer stuck and unable to do anything else.

  • Make enter select largest folder if nothing is selected

    Make enter select largest folder if nothing is selected

    Fixes #37 Although, the way it is now, it will only select (but not cd into) the largest folder if nothing is selected. From the wording "... the app goes into the largest folder" in the comment of #37 I wasn't really sure if it should cd into the largest folder or just select it. However, if should also cd into it, it should be a very trivial change in the handle_enter function.

    Feature: add an "Are you sure you want to quit?" modal

    Right now, when we press "Ctrl-C" or "q" to exit, the app exits immediately. It would be nice if we could add a modal that prompts the user in case they pressed this by mistake.

  • Feature: Support for Filesystem Compression (e.g. NTFS, BTRFS, ...)

    Feature: Support for Filesystem Compression (e.g. NTFS, BTRFS, ...)

    When running diskonaut on a BTRFS filesystem with compression enabled, it shows the uncompressed space used by folders and files, not the actual disk-space used.

    One folder of mine using 69.5G of storage, but if I delete this folder I would not regain 69.5G worth of disk space because that folder is being compressed instead I would only regain 50G of space which represents the actual space used on the disk.

    The command [sudo compsize /path/to/folder] was able to identify the post-compression space used.

    Rationale for feature:

    If I am using this tool, I am likely trying to free space so that I may allocate a new file.

    Suppose I want to download a 4GiB iso image. If I have a 4.5GiB zip archive and a 5GiB text-file, diskonaut would make it appear that deleting the text-file would let me download the iso with a GiB to spare. Unfortunately, with compression enabled, the compressible zip archive would still free up 4.5GiB while the highly compressible text-file may only free a 900MiB. At that point I would download the iso, run out of space and then have to reopen diskonaut to free ? more GiB (and hope that compression doesn't cause more trouble).

    Design Questions

    • How should the compressed vs uncompressed space be represented in the UI?

      The uncompressed usage may still be useful if I plan on copying my files to a location without compression.

    • On filesystems where it is relatively slow to compute the compressed disk usage, should there be a fast estimation run where placeholders (e.g. 69.5G??? would be displayed above) until the slower more accurate run occurs.

      • How should the estimation be displayed? I chose 69.5G??? earlier but maybe <69.5G> or some other formatting makes more sense.
    • What configuration flags should be added?

      • Formatting
      • Enabling/Disabling feature
      • Enabling/Disabling faster estimation process.

    Relevant Filesystems

    Hi @imsnif, this commit resolves https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut/issues/32.

    • added WarningBox to modals module.
    • rendering logic is similar to other modals. nothing specific to mention.
    • about the auto close functionality i added a WarningTimeout variant to your Event enum. this event waits for 5 seconds then resets the ui state using Instruction::ResetUiMode.

    please let me know if anything needs to change.
