NAME
     volcopy (ufs) - make a literal copy of a ufs file system

SYNOPSIS
     volcopy [-F ufs]  [generic_options]  [-a]  fsname  srcdevice
     volname1 destdevice volname2

DESCRIPTION
     generic_options are options supported by the generic volcopy
     command.

     volcopy makes a literal copy of the ufs file system using  a
     blocksize matched to the device.

     The fsname argument represents the mounted name  (for  exam-
     ple, root, u1, etc.)  of the file system being copied.

     The srcdevice or destdevice should be the physical disk sec-
     tion     or    tape    (for    example,    /dev/rdsk/cld0s8,
     /dev/rdsk/cld1s8, etc.).

     The volname is the physical volume name.  Such  label  names
     are  limited to six or fewer characters.  volname may be `-'
     to use the existing volume name.

     srcdevice and volname1 are the device and volume from  which
     the  copy of the file system is being extracted.  destdevice
     and volname2 are the target device and volume.

     fsname and volname are  recorded  in  the  superblock.   The
     options are:

     -F ufs
          Specifies the ufs-FSType.

     -a   Invoke a verification  sequence  requiring  a  positive
          operator  response  instead  of the standard ten-second
          delay before the copy is made.

NOTE
     volcopy does not support tape-to-tape copying.   Use  dd(1M)
     for tape-to-tape copying.
