xfs_ncheck, xfs_ncheck64 - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS

xfs_ncheck with no -i arguments generates an inode number and pathname list of all files on the given filesystem. Names of directory files are followed by /.. The output is not sorted in any particular order. The filesystem to be examined is specified by the xfs_special argument, which should be the disk or volume device for the filesystem. Filesystems stored in files can also be checked, using the -f flag.
xfs_ncheck64 is a 64-bit version of xfs_check which is not as susceptible to running out of memory. It is available only on 64-bit capable systems.
The options to xfs_ncheck are:
|
-f |
Specifies that the special device is actually a file (see the mkfs_xfs -d file option). This might happen if an image copy of a filesystem has been made into an ordinary file. |
|
|
-s |
Limits the report to special files and files with setuserid mode. This option may be used to detect viola- tions of security policy. |
|
|
-i ino |
Limits the report to only those files whose inode numbers follow. May be given multiple times to select |
If the filesystem is seriously corrupted, or very busy and looks like it is corrupt, a message of the form that would be generated by xfs_check(1M) may appear.
xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems. For EFS filesystems, see ncheck(1M).
mkfs_xfs(1M), ncheck(1M), xfs_check(1M), xfs(4).
