volcopy(1M) System Administration Commands volcopy(1M)NAMEvolcopy - make an image copy of file system
SYNOPSISvolcopy [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options]
operands
DESCRIPTIONvolcopy makes a literal copy of the file system. This command may not
be supported for all FSTypes.
OPTIONS
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.

operands generally include the device and volume names and are
