volcopy(1M)                        (UFS)                        volcopy(1M)


   NAME
         volcopy (ufs) - make a literal copy of a ufs file system

   SYNOPSIS
         volcopy [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-a] fsname srcdevice volname1
         destdevice volname2

   DESCRIPTION
         generic_options are options supported by the generic volcopy command.

         volcopy makes a literal copy of the ufs file system using a blocksize
         matched to the device.

         The fsname argument represents the mounted name (for example, root,
         u1, etc.)  of the file system being copied.

         The srcdevice or destdevice should be the physical disk section or
         tape (for example, /dev/rdsk/cld0s8, /dev/rdsk/cld1s8, etc.).

         The volname is the physical volume name.  Such label names are
         limited to six or fewer characters.  volname may be `-' to use the
         existing volume name.

         srcdevice and volname1 are the device and volume from which the copy
         of the file system is being extracted.  destdevice and volname2 are
         the target device and volume.

         fsname and volname are recorded in the superblock.

         The options are:

         -F ufs
               Specifies the ufs-FSType.

         -a    Invoke a verification sequence requiring a positive operator
               response instead of the standard ten-second delay before the
               copy is made.

   NOTE
         volcopy does not support tape-to-tape copying.  Use dd(1M) for tape-
         to-tape copying.
