fsirand(1BSD)        (BSD System Compatibility)        fsirand(1BSD)


       NAME
             fsirand - (BSD) 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 file system ID
             in the superblock.  This helps increase the security of file
             systems exported by NFS.

             fsirand must be used only on an unmounted file system that has
             been checked with fsck(1M).  The only exception is that it can
             be used on the root file system in single-user mode, if the
             system is immediately re-booted afterwards.

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