NAME

       vbmtchain - Displays the contents of a reserved file from an unmounted domain.

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/advfs/vbmtchain BMT_page cell special

OPERANDS

       Specifies  the  page  within  the bitfile metadata table (BMT) of the volume that contains the file's mcell.  Specifies the cell of the BMT
       page that contains the file's mcell.  Specifies the volume on which the file's primary mcell is located.

DESCRIPTION

       The vbmtchain utility displays the contents of a reserved file from an unmounted domain. The file is described by the location of its  pri-
       mary  mcell.  Each  mcell location is composed of three parts: volume, page within the BMT file located on that volume, and cell within the
       BMT page.

       The primary mcell for the root tag directory is found in the BMT of the volume containing the log. To find this volume for  a  domain,  use
       the showfdmn or the advscan command. The volume marked "L" contains the log.

       Certain metadata files are in fixed locations:

       -------------------------------------------------------
				Page   Cell   Volume
       -------------------------------------------------------
       Bitfile metadata table	0      0      Every volume
       Storage bitmap		0      1      Every volume
       Root tag directory	0      2      Volume with log
       Transaction log file	0      3      Volume with log
       -------------------------------------------------------

       The  vbmtchain utility displays the attributes of the file, including the time stamp, the extent map, and whether the file is a user direc-
       tory or a data file.
