NAME
fsirand - install random inode generation numbers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fsirand [-p] special
DESCRIPTION
fsirand installsrandom inode generation numbers on all the inodes on device special, and also installs a
filesystem ID in the superblock. This process increases the security of filesystems exported by NFS.
Use fsirand only on an unmounted filesystem that was checked with fsck (see fsck(1M)). The only
exception is that it can be used on the root filesystem in single-user mode if the system is immediately re-
booted afterwards using reboot -n.
The -p option prints the generation numbers for all inodes.
WARNINGS
fsirand should not be run on mounted filesystems. If executing fsirand on the root filesystem, the
system should be in single-user mode and should be re-booted immediately afterwards using
reboot -n.
AUTHOR
fsirand was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
