NAME

o2info - Show OCFS2 file system information.

SYNOPSIS

o2info [-C|--cluster-coherent] [--fs-features] [--volinfo] [--mkfs] [--freeinode] [--freefrag chunksize] [--space-usage] [--filestat] <device or file>

DESCRIPTION

o2info shows information about OCFS2 file systems. It differs from debugfs.ocfs2(8) in that it allows users with limited read privileges to query similar information. Users do not have to have the read privilege on the device as is expected by debugfs.ocfs2(8). This utility allows users to provide a path to an object on a mounted file system. The user needs to have the read privilege on that object.

OPTIONS

-C, --cluster-coherent: Force cluster coherency when querying a mounted file systems. The is disabled by default. Enable this only if accurate information is required as it involves taking cluster locks.
--fs-features: Show all the file system features (compat, incompat, ro compat) enabled on the file system.
--volinfo: Show file system information such as label, uuid, block and cluster sizes, node slots, etc.
--mkfs: Show file system information in mkfs.ocfs2(8) format.
--freeinode: Show the inode (allocated/free) count for all slots in the file system.
--freefrag chunksize: Show the free space fragmentation of the file system. The chunksize should be equal to or greater than the cluster size.
--space-usage: Show the disk space used by a file in block sized units. It also provides the block count of the holes, shared extents and unwritten extents.
--filestat: Show the extended stat(1) information that includes the number of clusters consumed by extended attributes, unwritten extents, shared extents and holes, along with the file fragmentation score.
-V, --version: Show version and exit.
-h, --help: Show help and exit.

NOTE

The utility uses custom info ioctls to query information from a mounted file system. As these info ioctls were added starting in Linux kernel 2.6.37, this utility will not work on mounted OCFS2 file systems running on systems having older kernels.

EXAMPLES

Non-privileged users can query the volume information by providing the path to a file on a mounted file system. Priviledged users can provide the path to the device.

# o2info --volinfo /ocfs2/testfile
       Label: webhome
        UUID: 8AB016CD59FC4327A2CDAB69F08518E3

    Features: unwritten

The same goes for querying file system fragmentation.
