NAME

volcopy_ufs − make an image copy of a ufs file system

SYNOPSIS

volcopy [ −F ufs ] [ generic_options ] fsname srcdevice volname1 destdevice volname2

DESCRIPTION

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

generic_options are options supported by the generic volcopy command.  See volcopy(1M). 

The fsname argument represents the mount point (for example, root, u1, etc.)  of the file system being copied.  srcdevice or destdevice is the disk partition or tape, specified using the raw device (for example, /dev/rdsk/cld0s8, /dev/rdsk/cld1s8, etc.). 

The volname is the physical volume name.  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 limited to six or fewer characters and recorded in the superblock. 

FILES
