fsirand(1)         UNIX System V(BSD Compatibility Package)          fsirand(1)


NAME
      fsirand - install random inode generation numbers

SYNOPSIS
      /usr/ucb/fsirand [ -p ] special

DESCRIPTION
      fsirand installs random inode generation numbers on all the inodes on
      device special, and also installs a filesystem ID in the superblock.
      This helps increase the security of filesystems exported by NFS.

      fsirand must be used only on an unmounted filesystem that has been
      checked with 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 afterwords.

      The -p option prints out the generation numbers for all the inodes, but
      does not change the generation numbers.
