Actually I have since realized that du provides pretty much a solution built in.

@SridharSarnobat, ncdu does have a builtin feature for this, see answer below :)

| Nov 19, 2010 at 15:58 | comment | added | xenoterracide | @mouviciel of course feel free to suggest a way to get the actual inode count | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 15:57 | comment | added | xenoterracide | @mouviciel this isn't being used on a backup disk, and yes I suppose they might be different, but in the environment I'm in there are very few hardlinks, technically I just need to get a feel for it. figure out where someone is burning out there inode quota. | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 12:45 | comment | added | mouviciel | As you mention inode usage, I don't understand whether you want to count the number of files or the number of used inodes. The two are different when hard links are present in the filesystem. Most, if not all, answers give the number of files. Don't use them on an Apple Time Machine backup disk. | |

@Steven feel free to rewrite it... I thought my example of du -sh /* made it pretty clear how I wanted the count to work. same thing, just count the files not the bytes.
