fsirand(1)               USER COMMANDS                 fsirand(1)



NAME
     fsirand - install random inode generation numbers

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ucb/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.  The -p option prints out the genera-
     tion numbers for all the inodes, but  does  not  change  the
     generation numbers.
