    NAME

    fssnap_ufs - create a temporary snapshot of a UFS file system
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    fssnap [-F ufs] [-V] -o backing-store=path, 
        [specific-options] /mount/point
    

    fssnap -d [-F ufs] [-V] /mount/point | dev
    

    fssnap -i [-F ufs] [-V] [-o specific-options] /mount/point | dev
    

     

    DESCRIPTION

    The fssnap command queries, creates, or deletes a temporary snapshot of a UFS file system. A snapshot is a point-in-time image of a file system that provides a stable and unchanging device interface for backups.

    When creating a file system snapshot, you must specify the file system to be captured and the backing-store file. The backing-store file(s) are where the snapshot subsystem saves old file system data before it is overwritten. Beyond the first backing-store file, fssnap automatically creates additional backing-store files on an as-needed basis.

    The number and size of the backing store files varies with the amount of activity in the file system. The destination path must have enough free space to hold the backing-store file(s). This location must be different from the file system that is being captured in a snapshot. The backing-store file(s) can reside on any type of file system, including another UFS file system or an NFS-mounted file system.  

    OPTIONS

    The following options are supported:

    -d

    Deletes the snapshot associated with the given file system.

    -i

    Displays the state of one or all UFS snapshots. If a mount-point or device is not specified, a list of all snapshots on the system is displayed. When a mount-point or device is specified, detailed information is provided for the specified file system snapshot by default.

    Use the -o options with the -i option to specify what snapshot information is displayed. Since this feature is provided primarily for use in scripts and on the command line, no labels are displayed for the data. Sizes are all in bytes, and the output is not internationalized or localized. The information is displayed on one line per option. Unrecognized options display a single ? on the line. One line per option guarantees that there are the same number of lines as options specified and there is a one-to-one correspondence between an output line and an option.

    The following -o options display specific information for a given snapshot. See the EXAMPLES section for examples of how to use these options.

    snapnumber

    Display the snapshot number.

    blockdevname

    Display the block device path.

    rawdevname

    Display the raw device path.

    mountpoint

    Display the mount point of the master file system.

    state

    Display the state of the snapshot device.

    backing-store

    Display the location of the first backing-store file for this snapshot. If there are multiple backing-store files, subsequent files have the same name as the first file, with the suffixes .2, .3, and so forth.

    backing-store-len

    Display the sum of the sizes of the backing-store files.

    maxsize

    Display the maxsize value specified for the backing-store file(s).

    createtime

    Display the time that the snapshot was created.

    chunksize

    Display the copy-on-write granularity.

    -o specific-options

    Without -d or -i, the default action is to create a snapshot. Specify the following options when creating a snapshot. All of these options are discretionary, except for the backing-store file, which is required.

    backing-store=path

    Uses path in the creation of the backing-store file(s). path must not reside on the file system that is being captured in a snapshot and must not be the name of an existing file. If path is a directory, then a backing-store file is created within it using a name that is generated automatically. If path is not a directory and does not already exist, then a backing-store file with that name is created. If more than one backing-store file is required, fssnap creates subsequent files automatically. The second and subsequent files have the same name as the first file, with suffixes of .2, .3, and so forth.

    This option can be abbreviated as bf=path or bs=path.

    unlink

    Unlinks the backing-store file after the snapshot is created. This option specifies that the backing-store file does not need to be removed manually when the snapshot is deleted. This might make administration more difficult since the file is not visible in the file system. If this option is not specified, the backing-store files should be removed manually after the snapshot is deleted.

    chunksize=n [k,m,g]

    Uses n for the chunk size. Chunk size is the granularity of the data that is sent to the backing store.

    Specify chunksize in the following units: k for kilobytes, m for megabytes, or g for gigabytes. By default, chunk size is four times the block size of the file system (typically 32k).

    maxsize=n[k,m,g]

    Does not allow the sum of the sizes of the backing-store file(s) to exceed n, where n is the unit specified. The snapshot is deleted automatically when the sum of the sizes of the backing-store file(s) exceeds maxsize.

    Specify maxsize in the following units: k for kilobytes, m for megabytes, or g for gigabytes.

    raw

    Displays to standard output the name of the raw device instead of the block device when a snapshot is created. The block device is printed by default (when raw is not specified). This option makes it easier to embed fssnap commands in the command line for commands that require the raw device instead. Both devices are always created. This option affects only the output.

     

    OPERANDS

    The following operands are supported:

    mount-point

    The directory where the file system resides.

    special

    The physical device for the file system, such as /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7.

     

    EXAMPLES

    Example 1 Creating a Snapshot of a File System

    The following example creates a snapshot of a file system. The block special device created for the snapshot is /dev/fssnap/0.

    # fssnap -F ufs -o backing-store=/var/tmp /export/home
    /dev/fssnap/0
    

    Example 2 Backing Up a File System Snapshot Without Having To Unmount the File System

    The following example backs up a file system snapshot without having to unmount the file system. Since ufsdump requires the path to a raw device, the raw option is used. The /export/home file system snapshot is removed in the second command.

    # ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 `fssnap -F ufs 
         -o raw,bs=/export/snap /export/home`
    <output from ufsdump>
    # fssnap -F ufs -d /export/home
    

    Example 3 Backing Up a File System

    When backing up a file system, do not let the backing-store file(s) exceed 400 Mbytes. The second command removes the /export/home file system snapshot.

    # ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 `fssnap -F ufs
         -o maxsize=400m,backing-store=/export/snap,raw 
         /export/home` 
    # fssnap -F ufs -d /export/home 
    

    Example 4 Performing an Incremental Dump of a Snapshot

    The following example uses ufsdump to back up a snapshot of /var. Note the use of the N option to ufsdump, which writes the name of the device being dumped, rather than the name of the snapshot device, to /etc/dumpdates file. See ufsdump(1M) for details on the N flag.

    # ufsdump lfNu /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s2 `fssnap -F ufs 
    -o raw,bs=/export/scratch,unlink /var`
    

    Example 5 Finding Out What Snapshots Currently Exist

    The following command displays the currently existing snapshots.

    # fssnap -i
    0  /src  
    1  /export/home
    <output continues>
    

    Example 6 Mounting a File System Snapshot

    The following example creates a file system snapshot. After you create a file system snapshot, mount it on /tmp/mount for temporary read-only access.

    # fssnap -F ufs -o backing-store=/nfs/server/scratch /export/home
    /dev/fssnap/1 
    # mkdir /tmp/mount 
    # mount -F ufs -o ro /dev/fssnap/1 /tmp/mount  
    

    Example 7 Creating a File System Snapshot and Unlinking the Backing-store File

    The following example creates a file system snapshot and unlinks the backing-store file. After creating a file system snapshot and unlinking the backing-store file, check the state of the snapshot.

    # fssnap -o bs=/scratch,unlink /src
    /dev/fssnap/0 
    # fssnap -i /src 
    Snapshot number               : 0 
    Block Device                  : /dev/fssnap/0 
    Raw Device                    : /dev/rfssnap/0 
    Mount point                   : /src 
    Device state                  : active 
    Backing store path            : /scratch/snapshot2 <UNLINKED> 
    Backing store size            : 192 KB 
    Maximum backing store size    : Unlimited 
    Snapshot create time          : Sat May 06 10:55:11 2000 
    Copy-on-write granularity     : 32 KB 
    

    Example 8 Displaying the Size and Location of the Backing-store File(s) and the Creation Time for the Snapshot

    The following example displays the size of the backing-store file(s) in bytes, the location of the backing store, and the creation time for the snapshot of the /test file system.

    # fssnap -i -o backing-store-len,backing-store,createtime /test 
    196608 
    /snapshot2 
    Sat May 6 10:55:11 2000
    

    Note that if there are multiple backing-store files stored in /snapshot2, they will have names of the form file (for the first file), file.1, file.2, and so forth.

     

    EXIT STATUS

    The following exit values are returned:

    0

    Successful completion.

    >0

    An error occurred.

     

    ATTRIBUTES

    See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

    ATTRIBUTE TYPEATTRIBUTE VALUE

    AvailabilitySUNWcsu

    The script-readable output mode is a stable interface that can be added to, but will not change. All other interfaces are subject to change.

    NOTES

    The fssnap device files should be treated like a regular disk block or character device.

    The association between a file system and the snapshot is lost when the snapshot is deleted or the system reboots. Snapshot persistence across reboots is not currently supported.

    To avoid unnecessary performance impacts, perform the snapshot and system backup when the system is least active.

    It is not possible to perform a snapshot of a file system if any of the following conditions are true:

    o The file system is in use by system accounting
    o The file system contains a local swap file
    o The file system is used as backing store by an application that uses mlock(3C) to lock its pages. Typically, these are real time applications, such as xntpd(1M).

    These conditions result in fssnap being unable to write lock the file system prior to performing the snapshot.
