dcopy(1M)  —  ADMINISTRATOR COMMANDS

NAME

dcopy (generic) − copy file systems for optimal access time

SYNOPSIS

dcopy [−F FSType] [−V] [current_options] [−o specific_options] inputfs outputfs

DESCRIPTION

dcopy copies file system inputfs to outputfs. inputfs is the device file for the existing file system; outputfs is the device file to hold the reorganized result.  For the most effective optimization inputfs should be the raw device and outputfs should be the block device.  Both inputfs and outputfs should be unmounted file systems. 

current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of dcopy.  Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options.  specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated list of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the FSType-specific module of the command.  See dcopy_FSType(1M) for details. 

The options are:

−F Specify the FSType on which to operate.  The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching the inputfs (device) with an entry in the table. 

−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. 

−o Specify FSType-specific options. 

NOTE

This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
