NAME
      volcopy - make an image copy of file system
 


SYNOPSIS
      volcopy [ -F FSType ]   [  -V  ]   [  generic_options  ]   [
      -o FSType-specific_options ]  operands
 


DESCRIPTION
      volcopy makes a literal copy of the file system.  This  com-
      mand 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 sys-
            tem 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  com-
            mand 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.
