Benchmark: Reading Directory Size

Benchmark: Reading Directory Size
Hello,
I was having trouble with the calculation of disk space taking to long (around 5min), so I decided to check what was going on.


First I checked the Daemon script and found the class it uses to get the disk space, it is located here:
Code:
/etc/sentora/panel/dryden/fs/filehandler.class.php

Readin the file you go to the GetDirectorySize class and you can read:
PHP Code:
   /**
     * Returns the full size of a directory and all child objects.
     * @author Bobby Allen (ballen@bobbyallen.me)
     * @param string $directory The filesystem path to the directory
     * @return int The directory size in bytes.
     */
 
   static function GetDirectorySize($directory) {

 
       error_reporting(0);

 
       $size 0;
 
       if (substr($directory, -1) == '/') {
 
           $directory substr($directory0, -1);
 
       }
 
       if (!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory) || !is_readable($directory)) {
 
           return -1;
 
       }
 
       $handle opendir($directory);
 
       if ($handle) {
 
           while (($file readdir($handle)) !== false) {
 
               $path $directory '/' $file;
 
               if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
 
                   if (is_file($path)) {
 
                       $size += filesize($path);
 
                   } elseif (is_dir($path)) {
 
                       $handlesize self::GetDirectorySize($path);
 
                       if ($handlesize >= 0) {
 
                           $size += $handlesize;
 
                       } else {
 
                           return -1;
 
                       }
 
                   }
 
               }
 
           }
 
           closedir($handle);
 
           return $size;
 
       } else {
 
           return false;
 
       }
 
   

Its everything ok with this, it works perfectly, however I decided to benchmark ( using microtime() ) and got the following results (I do have HUGE directories...)

Code:
START Calculating disk Usage for all client accounts..
Disk usage for user "zadmin" is: 177763599 (173.6 MB) in: 54.743 seconds
Disk usage for user "user2" is: 135473500 (132.3 MB) in: 72.311 seconds
Disk usage for user "user3" is: 393436099 (384.2 MB) in: 90.218 seconds
END Calculating disk usage in: 217.274 seconds
I was amazed, 217.274 seconds Huh  that would explain the 5 min wait time for each daemon to run.

I decided to make a quick change, as Sentora is supporting Linux only (officially), why not use the du command?
So I created a new class:
PHP Code:
static function GetDirectorySizeDU($directory) {

 
       error_reporting(0);

 
       $size 0;

 
       if (substr($directory, -1) == '/') {
 
           $directory substr($directory0, -1);
 
       }
 
       if (!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory) || !is_readable($directory)) {
 
           return -1;
 
       }
 
       $handle opendir($directory);
 
       if ($handle) {

 
       @exec("du -c -b ".$directory."/".$k$output);
 
           $use explode("\t"array_pop($output));
 
           @$size += $use[0];

 
           return $size;
 
       } else {
 
           return false;
 
       }
 
   

Probably can be improved, however I did not spent too much time looking into it, but, lets see the results:

Code:
START Calculating disk Usage for all client accounts..
Disk usage for user "zadmin" is: 185160975 (180.8 MB) in:12.438 seconds
Disk usage for user "user2" is: 142506332 (139.2 MB) in:11.265 seconds
Disk usage for user "user3" is: 404528067 (395 MB) in:15.667 seconds
END Calculating disk usage in:39.372 seconds

WOW!!  Idea
From 217 seconds to 39 seconds!!
This is a 456% better perfomance!!
Any thoughts one why this might not work?
I mean, this is just great Smile

RE: Benchmark: Reading Directory Size
That might be better for sure... 5050

We may for sure think about it once we do some clean up in panel structure as we will try to channel some key changes.
