volcopy(1M-ufs)                                             volcopy(1M-ufs)

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

SYNOPSIS
     volcopy [-F ufs] [genericoptions] fsname srcdevice volname1 destde-
     vice volname2

DESCRIPTION
     volcopy makes a literal copy of the ufs file system using a blocksize
     matched to the device (raw device only).

OPTIONS
     -F ufs              Specifies the ufs-FSType.

     genericoptions     Options supported by the generic volcopy command.

     The fsname argument is the same as the fsname specified with
     labelit(1M-ufs). If there is no fsname, then "" (empty character
     string) must be specified.

     The srcdevice or destdevice should be the physical disk section or
     tape (e.g. /dev/ios0/rsdisk000s3, /dev/ios0/rstape00, 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 (char fsname[6],
     volname[6];).

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

FILES
     /var/adm/filesave.log
