## 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       
                _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 _
                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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/xfs/5/markdown) for a detailed description of the XFS log.

### -s       
                be used to detect violations of security policy.

### -i _
                tiple times to select multiple inode numbers.

### -V       

       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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/xfsdb/8/markdown) "check" command may appear.

       **xfs_ncheck **is only useful with XFS filesystems.
