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 op‐
		       erands 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.
