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.
