Name
       dbd -- CNID database maintenance	utility

Synopsis
       dbd [-cfFstuv] [volumepath]

       dbd [-V]

Description
       dbd  scans  all	file and directories of	AFP volumes, updating the CNID
       database	of the volume. It must be  run	with  appropriate  permissions
       i.e.  as	root.

       When  run  with	the -f parameter, it will completely wipe the existing
       volume table in the database and	create a new one from  scratch.	  This
       can be used to for example convert from one CNID	scheme to another.

Options
       -c

	      convert  from  AppleDouble  v2 to	Extended Attributes filesystem
	      metadata

       -f

	      delete and recreate CNID database

       -F

	      location of the afp.conf config file

       -s

	      scan volume: treat the volume as read only and don't perform any
	      filesystem modifications

       -t

	      show statistics while running

       -u

	      username for use with AFP	volumes	using user variable $u

       -v

	      verbose

       -V

	      display version info

CNID usage
       The CNID	backends maintains filename to ID mappings. If	you  change  a
       filename	outside	afpd(8)	(shell,	samba),	the CNID database will not re-
       flect  that change. Netatalk tries to recover from such inconsistencies
       as gracefully as	possible.

       For when	you want to operate on a Netatalk volume  outside  of  an  AFP
       client  without sacrificing the integrity of the	CNID database, you can
       use the ad(1) tool which	 updates  the  CNID  records  while  modifying
       files.
