     fsirand(1M)                                           fsirand(1M)



     NAME
          fsirand - install random inode generation numbers

     SYNOPSIS
          fsirand[-p]special

     DESCRIPTION
          fsirand installs random inode generation numbers on all the
          inodes on device special, and also installs a filesystem ID
          in the superblock.  This helps increase the security of
          filesystems exported by NFS.

          fsirand must be used only on an unmounted filesystem that
          has been checked with fsck(1M).  The only exception is that
          it can be used on the root filesystem in single-user mode,
          if the system is immediately re-booted afterwords.

     FLAG OPTIONS
          -p   Print out the generation numbers for all the inodes,
               but do not change the generation numbers.

     FILES
          /etc/fsirand
