xfs_ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS


SYNOPSIS

       xfs_ncheck [ -i ino ] ... [ -s ] xfs_special

       xfs_ncheck -f [ -i ino ] ... [ -s ] file


DESCRIPTION

       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 filesys­
       tem.   Filesystems  stored  in  files can also be checked,
       using the -f flag.

       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 violations of security policy.

       -i ino   Limits the report to only those files whose inode
                numbers follow.  May be given multiple  times  to
                select multiple inode numbers.

       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(8) may appear.

       xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems.
