using find | awk

I am new to unix, currently using ubuntu 8.04 hardy. I am doing some performance tests on my file system.

I am trying to use find | awk to traverse the file system getting the size of each file and directory and calculate how much space it would take for a given block size.

Example using arbitrary values, if i find a file 19k, it would be 19k with a blocking factor of 1k, the same file would be 20k with 2k blocking factor, etc.

I would like to find the sum of the size of all the files and the total space allocated for all the files so i can get the calculate wasted space.

I tried the script posted above by a fellow forum member but i am not certain if it is doing what i asked above, as i said i am somewhat new to unix.

Can anyone help me in implementing this script? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

NAME
dpkg-awk - Utility to read a dpkg style db file SYNOPSIS
dpkg-awk [(-f|--file) filename] [(-d|--debug) ##] [(-s|--sort) list] [(-rs|--rec_sep) ??] '<fieldname>:<regex>' ... -- <out_fieldname> .. DESCRIPTION
dpkg-awk Parses a dpkg status file (or other similarly formatted file) and outputs the resulting records. It can use regex on the field values to limit the returned records, it can also be told which fields to output, and it can sort the matched fields. OPTIONS
-f filename --file filename The file to parse. The default is /var/lib/dpkg/status. -d [#] --debug [#] Each time this is specified, it increased the debug level. -s field(s) --sort field(s) A space or comma separated list of fields to sort on. -n field(s) --numeric field(s) A space or comma separated list of fields that should be interpreted as numeric in value. -rs ?? --rec_sep ?? Output this string at the end of each output paragraph. -h --help Display some help. fieldname The fields from the file, that are matched with the regex given. The fieldnames are case insensitive. out_fieldname The fields from the file, that are output for each record. If the first field listed begins with ^, then the list of fields that follows will NOT be output. BUGS
Be warned that the author has only a shallow understanding of the dpkg packaging system, so there are probably tons of bugs in this pro- gram. This program comes with no warranties. If running this program causes fire and brimstone to rain down upon the earth, you will be on your own. This program accesses the dpkg database directly in places, querying for data that cannot be gotten via dpkg. AUTHOR
