xfs_ncheck(8)                          System Manager's Manual                         xfs_ncheck(8)



NAME
       xfs_ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS

SYNOPSIS
       xfs_ncheck [ -i ino ] ... [ -f ] [ -s ] [ -l logdev ] device
       xfs_ncheck -V

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 device argument,
       which should be the disk or volume device for the filesystem.  Filesystems  stored  in  files
       can also be checked, using the -f flag.

OPTIONS
       -f       Specifies  that  the filesystem image to be processed is stored in a regular file at
                device (see the mkfs.xfs -d file option). This might happen if an image  copy  of  a
                filesystem has been made into an ordinary file.

       -l logdev
                Specifies  the  device  where the filesystem's external log resides.  Only for those
                filesystems which use an external log. See the mkfs.xfs  -l  option,  and  refer  to
                xfs(5) for a detailed description of the XFS log.

       -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 mul‐
                tiple times to select multiple inode numbers.

       -V       Prints the version number and exits.

       If  the  filesystem is seriously corrupted, or very busy and looks like it is corrupt, a mes‐
       sage of the form that would be generated by the xfs_db(8) "check" command may appear.

       xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems.
