44 File system data sharing
Using the fscdsadm command
Using the fscdsadm command
The fscdsadm command can be used to perform the following CDS tasks:
■ Checking that the metadata limits are not exceeded
■ Maintaining the list of target operating systems
■ Enforcing the established CDS limits on a file system
■ Ignoring the established CDS limits on a file system
■ Validating the operating system targets for a file system
■ Displaying the CDS status of a file system
Checking that the metadata limits are not exceeded
To check that the metadata limits are not exceeded
◆ Type the following command to check whether there are any file system
entities with metadata that exceed the limits for the specified target
operating system:
# fscdsadm -v -t target mount_point
Maintaining the list of target operating systems
When a file system will be migrated on an ongoing basis between multiple
systems, the types of operating systems that are involved in these migrations
are maintained in a target_list file. Knowing what these targets are allows
VxFS to determine file system limits that are appropriate to all of these targets.
The file system limits that are enforced are file size, user ID, and group ID. The
contents of the target_list file are manipulated by using the
fscdsadm
command.
Adding an entry to the list of target operating systems
To add an entry to the list of target operating systems
◆ Type the following command:
# fscdsadm -o add -t target mount_point
See “Specifying the migration target” on page 42.
