volcopy(1M)                                               System Administration Commands                                               volcopy(1M)

NAME

       volcopy - make an image copy of file system

SYNOPSIS

       volcopy [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] operands

DESCRIPTION

       volcopy makes a literal copy of the file system. This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.

OPTIONS

       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.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are 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.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful file system copy

       1        An error has occurred.

FILES

       /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.
