volcopy - make an image copy of file system
volcopy [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options]
[-o FSType-specific_options] operands
volcopy makes a literal copy of the file system. This
command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
The following options are supported:
-F FSType
Specify the FSType on which to operate. The
FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from
/etc/vfstab by matching the operands with an entry in the table.
Otherwise, the default file system type specified in /etc/default/fs
will be used.
-V
Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the
command. The command line is generated by using the options and arguments
provided by the user and adding to them information derived from
/etc/vfstab. This option should be used to verify and validate the
command line.
generic_options
Options that are commonly supported by most
FSType-specific command modules. The following options are available:
-a
Require the operator to respond "yes" or
"no" instead of simply waiting ten seconds before the copy is
made.
-s
(Default) Invoke the DEL if wrong verification
sequence.
-o FSType-specific_options
Specify FSType-specific options in a comma
separated (without spaces) list of suboptions and keyword-attribute pairs for
interpretation by the FSType-specific module of the command.
