This number is in sectors. A sector is 512 bytes long.
55207936*512=28266463232=26957MiB.

cron output = 0 bytes

I have a cron job set to run a script everyday. If I run the script out side of cron it runs correctly. If cron runs the script is produces a 0 byte file and it puts the output in the / directory. The script is set to put the output in a specific directory. Any help would be appreciated. (8 Replies)

NAME
blockdev - call block device ioctls from the command line SYNOPSIS
blockdev [-q] [-v] command [command...] device [device...] blockdev --report [device...] DESCRIPTION
The utility blockdev allows one to call block device ioctls from the command line. OPTIONS
-V Print version and exit. -q Be quiet. -v Be verbose. --report Print a report for the specified device. It is possible to give multiple devices. If none is given, all devices which appear in /proc/partitions are shown. Note that the partition StartSec is in 512-byte sectors. COMMANDS
It is possible to give multiple devices and multiple commands. --flushbufs Flush buffers. --getalignoff Get alignment offset. --getbsz Print blocksize in bytes. --getdiscardzeroes Get discard zeroes support status. --getfra Get filesystem readahead in 512-byte sectors. --getiomin Get minimum I/O size. --getioopt Get optimal I/O size. --getmaxsect Get max sectors per request --getpbsz Get physical block (sector) size. --getra Print readahead (in 512-byte sectors). --getro Get read-only. Print 1 if the device is read-only, 0 otherwise. --getsize64 Print device size in bytes. --getsize Print device size (32-bit!) in sectors. Deprecated in favor of the --getsz option. --getss Print sectorsize in bytes - usually 512. --getsz Get size in 512-byte sectors. --rereadpt Reread partition table --setbsz bytes Set blocksize. Note that the block size is specific to the current file descriptor opening the block device, so the change of block size only persists for as long as blockdev has the device open, and is lost once blockdev exits. --setfra sectors Set filesystem readahead (same like --setra on 2.6 kernels). --setra sectors Set readahead (in 512-byte sectors). --setro Set read-only. --setrw Set read-write.
