DESCRIPTION
mvfsstorage lists
the pathname of the data container of an MVFS file. The pathname may be within
view-private storage, the source pool, or the cleartext pool, depending on
the kind of file.
mvfsstorage is intended
for use in finding discrepancies in OS-level access rights between the view
and the underlying MVFS storage. Such discrepancies may occur when you do
not have access rights to the remote underlying storage (for example, in UNIX,
the storage may be owned by root). If you encounter
a permissions error that seems unfounded, run this utility as a diagnostic
and verify that you have valid access to the remote storage directory, specifically
to the underlying data container pathname.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
- –h
- Displays help on command options.
- –a
- Displays both kernel and UNC/drive letter
pathnames.
- –k
- Displays pathname in kernel mode format,
which includes the device name.
- –u
- Displays the pathname in user mode format.
The path is displayed in drive letter form for local paths and automounted
NFS volumes, and in UNC form for remote SMB or non-auto-mounted NFS paths.
- pname ...
- One or more names of files whose pathnames
are under a VOB tag (an MVFS object). For directories and non-MVFS objects, mvfsstorage echos
the pathnames you give it.
EXAMPLES
- For
a view-private file, compare view-level ownership and permissions against
those on the file's underlying storage location.
- For
a local view-private file, return data on the file's underlying storage location.
- For
a remote VOB file, return data on the file's underlying storage location.
