xfs_ncheck(8)		     System Manager's Manual		   xfs_ncheck(8)

NAME
     xfs_ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS

SYNOPSIS
     xfs_ncheck [ -i ino ] ... [ -f ] [ -s ] [ -l logdev ] device
     xfs_ncheck -V

DESCRIPTION
     xfs_ncheck with no -i arguments generates an inode number and pathname list
     of all files on the given filesystem. Names of directory files are followed
     by  /..   The output is not sorted in any particular order.  The filesystem
     to be examined is specified by the device argument,  which  should  be  the
     disk  or volume device for the filesystem.  Filesystems stored in files can
     also be checked, using the -f flag.

OPTIONS
     -f       Specifies that the filesystem image to be processed is stored in a
	      regular file at device (see the mkfs.xfs	-d  file  option).  This
	      might  happen  if an image copy of a filesystem has been made into
	      an ordinary file.

     -l logdev
	      Specifies the device where the filesystem's external log	resides.
	      Only  for  those	filesystems  which  use an external log. See the
	      mkfs.xfs -l option, and refer to xfs(5) for a detailed description
	      of the XFS log.

     -s       Limits the report to special files and files with setuserid  mode.
	      This option may be used to detect violations of security policy.

     -i ino   Limits  the report to only those files whose inode numbers follow.
	      May be given multiple times to select multiple inode numbers.

     -V       Prints the version number and exits.

     If the filesystem is seriously corrupted, or very busy and looks like it is
     corrupt, a message of the form that would be  generated  by  the  xfs_db(8)
     "check" command may appear.

     xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems.
