vxlsino(1M)

NAME

vxlsino - VxFS reverse path name lookup utility

SYNOPSIS

vxlsino [ -a ] inode_number mount_point

AVAILABILITY

VRTSvxfs

DESCRIPTION

The vxlsino command searches for and displays one path name of a file or directory with the specified inode number. If the -a option is specified, all path names of a file or directory with the specified inode number are displayed.

inode_number is the inode for which to find the path name.

mount_point specifies the mounted VxFS file system.

NOTES

vxlsino operates only on file systems using the Version 6 or higher disk layout.

Reverse path name lookup does not track symbolic links to files.

vxlsino uses the vxfs_inotopath API to obtain the path name (see the vxfs_inotopath(3) manual page).

Cluster File System Issues

No cluster issues; command operates the same on cluster file systems.

OPTIONS

-a Displays all the path names of the specified inode number.

EXAMPLES

The following is an example of the reverse name lookup procedure on the file system /mnt1. List the contents of the directory:

$ ls -liR /mnt1 /mnt1: total 0 417 drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 2048 Aug 24 17:02 dir1 140 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 12 Aug 24 17:02 file1 3 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Aug 24 17:02 lost+found 80 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 0 Aug 25 10:54 file3

/mnt1/dir1: total 0 480 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 0 Aug 24 17:02 file2

To determine the single path name of inode number 140, enter:


$ vxlsino 140 /mnt1 /mnt1/file1

Create hard links to the file file3:


$ cd dir1 $ ln ../file3 file4 $ ln ../file3 file5 $ ls -li ../file3 80 -rw-rw-rw- 3 root other 0 Aug 25 10:54 ../file3

To determine the single path name of inode number 80, enter:


$ vxlsino 80 /mnt1 /mnt1/file3

To determine all the path names of inode number 80, enter:


$ vxlsino -a 80 /mnt1 /mnt1/file3 /mnt1/dir1/file4 /mnt1/dir1/file5

When an inode number corresponds to a VxFS named data stream, the file name is preceded by a dot (.). For example, if inode number 100 corresponds to the named data stream attributes of the file file2, the command displays the following output:


$ vxlsino 100 /mnt1 /mnt1/file2/./attributes
