volcopy(1M) System Administration Commands volcopy(1M)NAMEvolcopy - make an image copy of file system
SYNOPSISvolcopy [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options]
[-o FSType-specific_options] operands
DESCRIPTIONvolcopy 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.
