💅 FSSYNC-DEBUG_VOLOP 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the AFS Command Reference — aka the fssync-debug volop corner of the OpenAFS universe 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fssync-debug_volop — it shows you the pending volume operation info, no cap. (specifically it's the FSYNC_VOL_QUERY_VOP opcode, iykyk)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fssync-debug volop -volumeid <volume ID>
    [-partition <exact partition name>]
    [-reason <sync protocol reason code>]
    [-programtype <program type code>]
    [-help]

fssync-debug vo -v <volume ID>
    [-pa <exact partition name>]
    [-r <sync protocol reason code>]
    [-pr <program type code>]

fssync-debug vop -v <volume ID>
    [-pa <exact partition name>]
    [-r <sync protocol reason code>]
    [-pr <program type code>]
    [-h]
    [-h]

yes babe, [-h] is listed twice at the end there, and we are NOT editing it, we are respecting the source material 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The fssync-debug volop command displays information about the pending volume operation for a given volume, if any.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you point it at a volume, it tells you what operation is queued up waiting on that volume. if there's nothing pending? well, it shows you nothing pending. iconic behavior honestly ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -volumeid <volume ID> — specifies the numeric volume ID. Volume names are NOT permitted. numbers only bestie, don't try it 🙈
• -partition <exact partition name> — specifies the exact partition name, like /vicepa. Abbreviations are not permitted — it wants the whole thing, spelled all the way out, no shortcuts 💅
• -reason <sync protocol reason code> — specifies a numeric sync protocol reason code. The available codes are listed in the OpenAFS source file src/vol/fssync_inline.h. For SYNC_REASON_NONE, use -reason 0. 📜
• -programtype <program type code> — specifies a program type code. The permitted values are fileServer, volumeUtility, salvager, salvageServer, volumeServer and volumeSalvager. pick your fighter ⭐
• -help — prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. so like, don't bother passing anything else alongside it, it's not gonna read them 🫶

🔒 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 🔒

The issuer must have write access to the file server. Usually, this means the issuer must be the local superuser "root" on the file server machine.

so like... not a casual thing. you gotta be that girl (root) on that machine (the file server). no cap 😭
