NAME

vos_examine - Shows volume header and VLDB entry information for a volume

SYNOPSIS

vos examine -id <volume name or ID> [-extended] [-format] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-verbose] [-encrypt] [-noresolve] [-config <config directory>] [-help]

vos e -i <volume name or ID> [-ex] [-f] [-c <cell name>] [-noa] [-l] [-v] [-e] [-nor] [-co <config directory>] [-h]

vos volinfo -id <volume name or ID> [-extended] [-format] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-verbose] [-encrypt] [-noresolve] [-config <config directory>] [-help]

vos v -i <volume name or ID> [-ex] [-f] [-c <cell name>] [-noa] [-l] [-v] [-e] [-nor] [-co <config directory>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

The vos examine command formats and displays information from the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry and the volume header of the volume specified by the -id argument.

To display the volume header only, use the vos listvol command. To display information from the VLDB only, use the vos listvldb command.

CAUTIONS

Currently, the maximum quota for a volume is 2 terabytes (2^41 bytes). Note that this only affects the volume's quota; a volume may grow much larger if the volume quota is disabled. However, volumes over 2 terabytes in size may be impractical to move, and may have their size incorrectly reported by some tools, such as fs_listquota(1).

OPTIONS

-id <volume name or ID>

Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the volume, which can be read/write, read-only, or backup.

-extended

Displays statistics about read and write operations on files and directories in the volume.

-format

Shows information in a format suitable for machine parsing.

-cell <cell name>

Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-noauth

Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-localauth

Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /usr/afs/etc/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-verbose

Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear.

-encrypt

Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later.

-noresolve

Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed servers. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later.

-config <configuration directory>

Set the location of the configuration directory to be used. This defaults to /usr/vice/etc, except if -localauth is specified, in which case the default is /usr/afs/etc. This option allows the use of alternative configuration locations for testing purposes.

-help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

The first seven lines of the output show information from the volume header and the remaining lines come from the VLDB. Each item in the following list corresponds to a line of output derived from the volume header.

When the -extended flag is included, two tables appear next:

If the following message appears instead of the previously listed information, it indicates that a volume is not accessible to Cache Managers or the vos command interpreter, for example because a clone is being created.

   **** Volume <volume_ID> is busy ****

If the following message appears instead of the previously listed information, it indicates that the File Server is unable to attach the volume, perhaps because it is seriously corrupted. The FileLog and VolserLog log files in the /usr/afs/logs directory on the file server machine possibly provide additional information; use the bos getlog command to display them.

   **** Could not attach volume <volume_ID> ****

Following a blank line, information from the VLDB entry appears. Each item in this list corresponds to a separate line in the output:

For further discussion of the New release and Old release flags, see vos_release(1).

EXAMPLES

The following example shows output for the Example Corporation volume called usr with two read-only replication sites (this volume is mounted at the /afs/example.com/usr directory). For the sake of illustration, the output shows the volume as locked.

   % vos examine usr
   usr                           536870981 RW   3459 K On-line

        Volume is currently LOCKED

The following example shows the output for the volume user.terry using the -extended flag. The volume has no read-only replication sites.

   % vos examine -id user.terry -extended
