NAME

6       pvfs2-cp – copy files to and from OrangeFS volumes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pvfs2-cp  [-s  strip_size] [-n num_datafiles] [-b buffer_size_in_bytes]
10       [-tv] src_file dst_file
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The pvfs2-cp utility copies the file src_file  to  dst_file  where  the
14       files may either be on OrangeFS volumes or local files.  When operating
15       on OrangeFS volumes it works  through  the  OrangeFS  library  and  not
16       through the kernel interface.
17
18       The options are as follows:
19
20       -s     Specify  a  strip size to use when creating dst_file.  This only
21              applies to OrangeFS volumes.
22
23       -n     Specify a number of datafiles to  use  when  creating  dst_file.
24              This only applies to OrangeFS volumes.
25
26       -b     Use an intermediate buffer of buffer_size bytes when copying the
27              file.
28
29       -t     Report some timing information.
30
31       -v     Print version number and exit.
32

ENVIRONMENT

34       PVFS2_DEBUGFILE
35              If set to the path of a local file, redirect debug output to it.
36
37       PVFS2_DEBUGMASK
38              Set the OrangeFS debug mask.  Possible masks are  documented  in
39              pvfs2-set-debugmask(1).
40
41       PVFS2TAB_FILE
42              If set, the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file
43

FILES

45       /etc/pvfs2tab
46

EXAMPLES

48       Copy  the  file  /etc/motd to /mnt/bar.  If /mnt is an OrangeFS volume,
49       this will copy the file into OrangeFS.
50
51             pvfs2-cp /etc/motd /mnt/bar
52

CAVEATS

54       When dst_file is a directory  the  utility  does  not  work.   In  this
55       respect it is different than the cp(1) utility.
