<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2><p style="margin-left: 18%"><font size=3><I>xfs_ncheck</I></font> <font size=3>with no</font> <font size=3><B>-i</B></font> <font size=3>arguments generates an inode number and pathname list of all files on the given filesystem. Names of directory files are followed by</font> <font size=3><B>/.</B></font><font size=3>. The output is not sorted in any particular order. The filesystem to be examined is specified by the</font> <font size=3><I>xfs_special</I></font> <font size=3>argument, which should be the disk or volume device for the filesystem. Filesystems stored in files can also be checked, using the</font> <font size=3><B>-f</B></font> <font size=3>flag.</font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 18%"><font size=3>The options to</font> <font size=3><I>xfs_ncheck</I></font> <font size=3>are:</font>

This might happen if an image copy of a filesystem has been made into an ordinary file.</font></p>
