NAME

       o2info - Dump OCFS2 file system information on disk.

SYNOPSIS

       o2info [-C|--cluster-coherent] [--fs-features] [--volinfo] [--mkfs] <device or file>

DESCRIPTION

       o2info  is designed to be an information tool, to display OCFS2 file system information on disk. Its main goal on one hand, is to provide a
       tool to display fs info in a comprehensive way and providing the information which may be missing in debugfs.ocfs and tunefs.ocfs2 such	as
       global  bitmap  free  space  fragmentation  and free inode info for each slot, on the other hand, it also aims to become a info tool(not an
       administration one), which therefore allows all users who may have no read privilege on the underlying device to use the utility. In  prac-
       tice, 'o2info /path/to/file/on/ocfs2/vol' use a new OCFS2_IOC_INFO ioctl to get info from fs for a mounted case. For a privileged user(e.g,
       root), the same info however, can also be accessed by 'o2info /dev/sdxN' to direcly manipulate the raw device.

OPTIONS

       -C, --cluster-coherent
	      Enable cluster (in)coherency for mounted case, means it will attempt to acquire a global PR lock when querying info from	a  cluster
	      filesystem, which may degrade the performance, default is none cluster-coherency.

       --fs-features
	      List all compat, incompat and ro-compat fs features on OCFS2 filesystem.

       --volinfo
	      Dump basic volume information, such as blocksize, clustersize, volume label and UUID etc.

       --mkfs Dump  an	original  format  of  mkfs.ocfs's  arguments,  importantly,  which can be used directly as a fresh mkfs retry: #mkfs.ocfs2
	      "$(o2info --mkfs /dev/name/or/path/of/file)" /dev/sdaX

       -V, --version
	      Show version and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Display help and exit.

EXAMPLES

       [oracle@node1 ~]# o2info --volinfo /storage/testfile	 # For none-privileged users.
       [root@node1 ~]# o2info --volinfo /dev/sda1
	      Label: ocfs2-volume
	       UUID: 976D8E630B3A4F1F95497311A92901FC
	 Block Size: 4096
       Cluster Size: 4096
	 Node Slots: 4
	   Features: backup-super strict-journal-super sparse inline-data xattr
	   Features: unwritten

NAME

       o2image - Copy or restore OCFS2 file system meta-data

SYNOPSIS

       o2image [-r] [-I] device image-file

DESCRIPTION

       o2image	copies	the  OCFS2  file  system  meta-data from the device to the specified image-file.  This image file contains the file system
       skeleton that includes the inodes, directory names and file names. It does not include any file data.

       This image file can be useful to debug certain problems that are not reproducible otherwise.  Like on-disk corruptions. It  could  also	be
       used to analyse the file system layout in an aging file system with an eye towards improving performance.

       As  the	image-file  contains a copy of all the meta-data blocks, it can be a large file.  By default, it is created in a packed format, in
       which all meta-data blocks are written back-to-back. With the -r option, the user could choose to have the file in the raw (or sparse) for-
       mat, in which the blocks are written to the same offset as they are on the device.

       debugfs.ocfs2 understands both formats.

       o2image	also  has  the option, -I, to restore the meta-data from the image file onto the device. This option will rarely be useful to end-
       users and has been written specifically for developers and testers.

OPTIONS

       -r     Copies the meta-data to the image-file in the raw format. Use this option only if the destination file system supports sparse files.
	      If unsure, do not use this option and let the tool create the image-file in the packed format.

       -I     Restores meta-data from the image-file onto the device. CAUTION: This option could corrupt the file system.

EXAMPLES

       [root@node1 ~]# o2image /dev/sda1 sda1.out
       Copies metadata blocks from /dev/sda1 device to sda1.out file

       [root@node1 ~] o2image -I /dev/sda1 sda1.out
       Use with CAUTION. Copies meta-data blocks from sda1.out onto the /dev/sda1 device.
