How to calculate disk space usage

Hello -

Simple question: is there any straight forward way to calculate the amount of disk space a branch is consuming in TeamSite?

I'm sure the answer to this question is probably complex due to the way the Teamsite E: & Y: drives work. Has anyone done anything like this before?

Thanks.

never tried this but a long workarround would be to migrate the branch to another empty store and then see the size of that store on the filesystem, not on the Y drive.

The iwmigrate proposal is probably the most accurate - but you have to remember to run iwfsshrink on the temporary second store after the migration is done and before you calculate the size of that store.

The other method is much more involved where you process the contents of every edition and the staging area and sum up the size of each unique instance of each file - and then add some fluff (for the metadata) to come up with an approximation.
