Creating a Storage Checkpoint

You can create a Storage Checkpoint using the fsckptadm utility. In these examples, /mnt0 is a mounted VxFS file system with a Version 4 or Version 5 disk layout.

The following example shows the creation of a nodata Storage Checkpoint named thu_7pm on /mnt0 and lists all Storage Checkpoints of the /mnt0 file system:

# fsckptadm -n create thu_7pm /mnt0
# fsckptadm list /mnt0
/mnt0

thu_7pm:
ctime = Thu 3 Mar 2005 7:00:17 PM PST
mtime = Thu 3 Mar 2005 7:00:17 PM PST
flags = nodata, largefiles

See Space management considerations).

The following example shows the creation of a removable Storage Checkpoint named thu_8pm on /mnt0 and lists all Storage Checkpoints of the /mnt0 file system:

# fsckptadm -r create thu_8pm /mnt0
# fsckptadm list /mnt0

/mnt0

thu_8pm:
ctime = Thu 3 Mar 2005 8:00:19 PM PST
mtime = Thu 3 Mar 2005 8:00:19 PM PST
flags = largefiles, removable

thu_7pm:
ctime = Thu 3 Mar 2005 7:00:17 PM PST
mtime = Thu 3 Mar 2005 7:00:17 PM PST
flags = nodata, largefiles
