NAME

fsdb_vxfs - VxFS file system debugger

SYNOPSIS


AVAILABILITY

VRTSvxfs

DESCRIPTION

The fsdb command is a powerful tool that can modify the structural elements of a file system. When used correctly, it can repair damaged file systems. However, when used incorrectly, it can cause serious and possibly unrepairable damage to a file system. Symantec therefore recommends that fsdb be used only in close consultation with Symantec technical support.

WARNINGS

Always run a file system check after using fsdb to modify a file system (use "fsck -o full, nolog" ).

Some aspects of fsdb apply to a specific VxFS disk layout version.
