NAME

     volcopy - make an image copy of file system

SYNOPSIS

     volcopy  [-F FSType]  [-V]   [generic_options]   [-o FSType-
     specific_options] operands

DESCRIPTION

     volcopy makes a literal copy of the file system.  This  com-
     mand may not be supported for all FSTypes.

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -F FSType
           Specify the FSType on which to  operate.   The  FSType
           should  either  be  specified  here or be determinable
           from /etc/vfstab by  matching  the  operands  with  an
           entry  in the table.  Otherwise, the default file sys-
           tem type specified in /etc/default/fs will be used.

     -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  com-
           mand line.

     generic_options
           Options that are commonly supported  by  most  FSType-
           specific  command  modules.  The following options are
           available:

           -a    Require the operator to respond  "yes"  or  "no"
                 instead of simply waiting ten seconds before the
                 copy is made.

           -s    (Default) Invoke the DEL if  wrong  verification
                 sequence.

     -o FSType-specific_options
           Specify FSType-specific options in a  comma  separated
           (without  spaces)  list  of  suboptions  and  keyword-
           attribute pairs  for  interpretation  by  the  FSType-
           specific module of the command.

OPERANDS

     The following operands are supported:

     operands
           generally include the device and volume names and  are
           file  system  specific.  A detailed description of the
           operands can be found on the FSType-specific man pages
           of volcopy.

EXIT STATUS

     The following exit values are returned:

     0     Successful file system copy

     1     An error has occurred.

FILES

     /etc/vfstab
           list of default parameters for each file system

     /etc/default/fs
           default local file system type. Default values can  be
           set  for  the  following flags in /etc/default/fs. For
           example: LOCAL=ufs.

           LOCAL:
                 The default partition for a command if no FSType
                 is specified.
