NAME

fsdb (generic) - file system debugger

SYNOPSIS

fsdb   [-F   FSType]    [-V]    [    current_options]    [-o
specific_options] special

DESCRIPTION

fsdb is a file system debugger which allows for the manual repair of a file system after a crash. special is a special device used to indicate the file system to be debugged. fsdb is intended for experienced users only. FSType is the file system type to be debugged. Since different FSTypes have different structures and hence different debugging capabilities the manual pages for the FSType-specific fsdb should be consulted for a more detailed description of the debugging capabilities.

current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of fsdb. 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.

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 special 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.
