Hi,

Is there a quick & easy way to get a count of the Total Number of files
in 
the file system?
-------------------

Faced with this problem I would write a script that would
do a ls -lR . >file.list
Then do a grep against file.list to filter out links and
directories and then finally a wc --lines to count the
number of line (i.e. the number of files). This couldbe
done with a one-line shell script with a couple of pipelines.
Of course you'd have to cd to the top directory level you
wanted to include and probably also be root.
