NAME
fsadm - a file system administration command
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fsadm
[-F FStype ][-V][-o specific_options ] special
DESCRIPTION
The
fsadm command is designed to perform selected administration tasks on file systems. These tasks
may differ between file system types. special is a device file containing an unmounted file system. How-
ever, if the file system is of the type that provides online administration capabilities the special could be a
directory . directory must be the root of a mounted file system.
Only a superuser can invoke
fsadm.
Options
-F FStype Specify the file system type on which to operate (see fstyp (1M) and fs_wrapper (5)). If
this option is not included on the command line, then the file system type is determined
from the file
/etc/fstab by matching each special with an entry in that file. If there is
no entry in
/etc/fstab, then the file system type is determined from the file
/etc/default/fs
.
-o specific_options
Specify options specific to each file system type. specific_options is a list of comma
separated suboptions and/or keyword/attribute pairs intended for a specific FStype -
specific module of the command. See the file system specific manual entries for a descrip-
tion of the specific_options supported, if any.
-V Echo the completed command line, but perform no other action. The command line is
generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from
/etc/fstab. This option allows the user to verify the command line.
