] [ -V ] [ generic_options ] [ -o FSType-specific_options ] operands
SUNWcsu
volcopy makes a literal copy of the file system.
The
following options are supported:
- -F FSType
- Specify the FSType on which to
operate. The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from
/etc/vfstab by matching the operands with an entry in the table. Otherwise,
the default file system type specified in /etc/default/fs will be used.
- -V
- Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the command. The command
line is generated by using the options and arguments provided by the user
and adding to them information derived from /etc/vfstab. This option should
be used to verify and validate the command line.
- generic_options
- Options
that are commonly supported by most FSType-specific command modules. The
following options are available:
- -a
- Require the operator to respond ‘yes’
or ‘no’ instead of simply waiting ten seconds before the copy is made.
- -s
- (Default)
Invoke the DEL if wrong verification sequence.
- -o FSType-specific_options
- Specify FSType-specific options in a comma separated
(without spaces) list of suboptions and keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation
by the FSType-specific module of the command.
The following operand
is supported:
- operands
- generally include the device and volume names and
are file system specific. A detailed description of the operands can be
found on the FSType-specific man pages of volcopy.
The following
exit values are returned:
- Successful file system copy
- An error has occurred.
- /etc/vfstab
- list of default parameters for each file system
- /etc/default/fs
- default local file system type. Default values can be set for the following
flags in /etc/default/fs. For example: LOCAL
=ufs.
- LOCAL:
- The default partition
for a command if no FSType is specified.
