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.
