9 debugfs.ocfs2 [-f cmdfile] [-R command] [-s backup] [-nwV?] [device]
10 debugfs.ocfs2 -l [tracebit ... [allow|off|deny]] ...
12 debugfs.ocfs2 -d, --decode lockname
14 debugfs.ocfs2 -e, --encode lock_type block_num [generation | parent]
16
19 The debugfs.ocfs2 program is an interactive file system debugger useful
20 in displaying on-disk OCFS2 filesystem structures on the specified
21 device.
22
25 -d, --decode lockname
26 Display the information encoded in the lockname.
27 -e, --encode lock_type block_num [generation | parent]
30 Display the lockname obtained by encoding the arguments pro‐
31 vided.
32 -f, --file cmdfile
35 Executes the debugfs commands in cmdfile.
36 -i, --image
39 Specifies device is an o2image file created by o2image tool.
40 -l [tracebit ... [allow|off|deny]] ...
43 Control OCFS2 filesystem tracing by enabling and disabling trace
44 bits. Do debugfs.ocfs2 -l to get the list of all trace bits.
45 -n, --noprompt
48 Hide prompt.
49 -R, --request command
52 Executes a single debugfs command.
53 -s, --superblock backup-number
56 mkfs.ocfs2 makes up to 6 backup copies of the superblock at off‐
57 sets 1G, 4G, 16G, 64G, 256G and 1T depending on the size of the
58 volume. Use this option to specify the backup, 1 thru 6, to use
59 to open the volume.
60 -w, --write
63 Opens the filesystem in RW mode. By default the filesystem is
64 opened in RO mode.
65 -V, --version
68 Display version and exit.
69 -?, --help
72 Displays help and exit.
73
76 Many debugfs.ocfs2 commands take a filespec as an argument to specify
77 an inode (as opposed to a pathname) in the filesystem which is cur‐
78 rently opened by debugfs.ocfs2. The filespec argument may be specified
79 in two forms. The first form is an inode number or lockname surrounded
80 by angle brackets, e.g., <32>. The second form is a pathname; if the
81 pathname is prefixed by a forward slash ('/'), then it is interpreted
82 relative to the root of the filesystem which is currently opened by
83 debugfs.ocfs2. If not, the path is interpreted relative to the current
84 working directory as maintained by debugfs.ocfs2, which can be modified
85 using the command cd. If the pathname is prefixed by a double forward
86 slash ('//'), then it is interpreted relative to the root of the system
87 directory of the filesystem opened by debugfs.ocfs2.
88
91 Locknames are specially formatted strings used by the file system to
92 uniquely identify objects in the filesystem. Most locknames used by
93 OCFS2 are generated using the inode number and its generation number
94 and can be decoded using the decode command or used directly in place
95 of an inode number in commands requiring a filespec. Like inode num‐
96 bers, locknames need to be enclosed in angle brackets, e.g.,
97 <M000000000000000040c40c044069cf>. Use the encode command to generate
98 all possible locknames for an object.

102 This is a list of the commands which debugfs.ocfs2 supports.
103 bmap filespec logical_block
106 Display the physical block number corresponding to the logical
107 block number logical_block in the inode filespec.
108 cat filespec
111 Dump the contents of inode filespec to stdout.
112 cd filespec
115 Change the current working directory to filespec.
116 chroot filespec
119 Change the root directory to be the directory filespec.
120 close Close the currently opened filesystem.
123 controld dump
126 Display information obtained from ocfs2_controld.
127 curdev Show the currently open device.
130 decode <lockname>
133 Display the inode number encoded in the lockname.
134 dirblocks <filespec>
137 Display the directory blocks associated with the given filespec.
138 dlm_locks [-f <file>] [-l] [<lockname(s)>]...
141 Display the status of all lock resources in the o2dlm domain
142 that the file system is a member of. This command expects the
143 debugfs filesystem to be mounted as mount -t debugfs debugfs
144 /sys/kernel/debug. Use lockname(s) to limit the output to the
145 given lock resources, -l to include contents of the lock value
146 block and -f <file> to specify a saved copy of /sys/ker‐
147 nel/debug/o2dlm/<DOMAIN>/locking_state.
148 dump [-p] filespec outfile
151 Dump the contents of the inode filespec to the output file out‐
152 file. If the -p is given, set the owner, group, timestamps and
153 permissions information on outfile to match those of filespec.
154 dx_dump filespec
157 Display the indexed directory information for the given direc‐
158 tory.
159 dx_leaf <block#>
162 Display the contents of the given indexed directory leaf block.
163 dx_root <block#>
166 Display the contents of the given indexed directory root block.
167 dx_space filespec
170 Display the directory free space list.
171 encode filespec
174 Display the lockname for the filespec.
175 extent <block#>
178 Display the contents of the extent structure at block#.
179 findpath [<lockname>|<inode#>]
182 Display the pathname for the inode specified by lockname or
183 inode#. This command does not display all the hard-linked paths
184 for the inode.
185 frag filespec
188 Display the inode's number of extents to clusters ratio.
189 fs_locks [-f <file>] [-l] [-B] [<lockname(s)>]...
192 Display the status of all locks known by the file system. This
193 command expects the debugfs filesystem to be mounted as mount -t
194 debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug. Use lockname(s) to limit the
195 output to the given lock resources, -B to limit the output to
196 only the busy locks, -l to include contents of the lock value
197 block and -f <file> to specify a saved copy of /sys/ker‐
198 nel/debug/ocfs2/<UUID>/locking_state.
199 group <block#>
202 Display the contents of the group descriptor at block#.
203 grpextents <block#>
206 Display free extents in the chain group.
207 hb Display the contents of the heartbeat system file.
210 help, ?
213 Print the list of commands understood by debugfs.ocfs2.
214 icheck block# ...
217 Display the inodes that use the one or more blocks specified on
218 the command line. If the inode is a regular file, also display
219 the corresponding logical block offset.
220 lcd directory
223 Change the current working directory of the debugfs.ocfs2
224 process to the directory on the native filesystem.
225 locate [<lockname>|<inode#>] ...
228 Display all pathnames for the inode(s) specified by locknames or
229 inode#s.
230 logdump [-T] slot#
233 Display the contents of the journal for slot slot#. Use -T to
234 limit the output to just the summary of the inodes in the jour‐
235 nal.
236 ls [-l] filespec
239 Print the listing of the files in the directory filespec. The
240 -l flag will list files in the long format.
241 net_stats [-f <file>] [interval [count]]
244 Display the net statistics. This command expects the debugfs
245 filesystem to be mounted at /sys/kernel/debug. The interval is
246 in seconds. Use the -f parameter to specify a saved copy of
247 /sys/kernel/debug/o2net/stats.
248 ncheck [<lockname>|<inode#>] ...
251 See locate.
252 open device
255 Open the filesystem on device.
256 quit, q
259 Quit debugfs.ocfs2.
260 rdump [-v] filespec outdir
263 Recursively dump directory filespec and all its contents
264 (including regular files, symbolic links and other directories)
265 into the outdir which should be an existing directory on the
266 native filesystem.
267 refcount [-e] filespec
270 Display the refcount block, and optionally its tree, of the
271 specified inode.
272 slotmap
275 Display the contents of the slotmap system file.
276 stat [-t|-T] filespec
279 Display the contents of the inode structure for the filespec.
280 The -t ("traverse") option selects traversal of the inode's
281 metadata. The extent tree, chain list, or other extra metadata
282 will be dumped. This is the default. The -T option turns off
283 traversal to reduce the I/O required when basic inode informa‐
284 tion is needed.
285 stat_sysdir
288 Display the contents of all objects in the system directory.
289 stats [-h] [-s backup-number]
292 Display the contents of the superblock. Use -s to display a spe‐
293 cific backup superblock. Use -h to hide the inode.
294 xattr [-v] <filespec>
297 Display extended attributes associated with the given filespec.
