Hi Harry, |
21 |
|
22 |
Depends a little, what base you choose. Commandlines tends to be |
23 |
shorter than for example lines printed with the dmesg command. |
24 |
|
25 |
To get you an idea, how much "much" is: |
26 |
|
27 |
# supposing that you have command history enabled with you shell |
28 |
# prints the bytes count and the number of lines . You only need to |
29 |
# devide one by the other |
30 |
> history -1000 | dd | wc -l |
31 |
|
32 |
# for the other estimation you can do this |
33 |
> dmesg | dd | wc -l |
34 |

HTH! |
