6 xfs_ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS
7
9 xfs_ncheck [ -i ino ] ... [ -f ] [ -s ] [ -l logdev ] device
10
12 xfs_ncheck with no -i arguments generates an inode number and pathname
13 list of all files on the given filesystem. Names of directory files are
14 followed by /.. The output is not sorted in any particular order. The
15 filesystem to be examined is specified by the device argument, which
16 should be the disk or volume device for the filesystem. Filesystems
17 stored in files can also be checked, using the -f flag.
18
20 -f Specifies that the filesystem image to be processed is stored
21 in a regular file at device (see the mkfs.xfs -d file option).
22 This might happen if an image copy of a filesystem has been
23 made into an ordinary file.
24 -l logdev
26 Specifies the device where the filesystem's external log
27 resides. Only for those filesystems which use an external
28 log. See the mkfs.xfs -l option, and refer to xfs(5) for a
29 detailed description of the XFS log.
30 -s Limits the report to special files and files with setuserid
32 mode. This option may be used to detect violations of secu‐
33 rity policy.
34 -i ino Limits the report to only those files whose inode numbers fol‐
36 low. May be given multiple times to select multiple inode
37 numbers.
38 If the filesystem is seriously corrupted, or very busy and looks like
40 it is corrupt, a message of the form that would be generated by
41 xfs_check(8) may appear.
42 xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems.
