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. Other-
                                   wise, 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 infor-
                                   mation      derived       from
                                   /etc/vfstab.    This    option
                                   should be used to  verify  and
                                   validate the command line.


     generic_options               Options that are commonly sup-
                                   ported by most FSType-specific
                                   command modules.  The  follow-
                                   ing options are available:

                                   -a    Require the operator  to
                                         respond  "yes"  or  "no"
                                         instead of simply  wait-
                                         ing  ten  seconds before
                                         the copy is made.


                                   -s    (Default) Invoke the DEL
                                         if   wrong  verification

     -o FSType-specific_options    Specify        FSType-specific
                                   options  in  a comma separated

                                   attribute pairs for  interpre-
                                   tation  by the FSType-specific
                                   module of the command.


OPERANDS

                 FSType-specific man pages of volcopy.


EXIT STATUS

     0    Successful file system copy


     1    An error has occurred.


FILES
     /etc/vfstab        list of default parameters for each  file
                        system


     /etc/default/fs    default local file system  type.  Default
                        values can be set for the following flags
