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.
