✨ FSSYNC-DEBUG_ATTACH(8) ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the AFS Command Reference section of the manual, and it is fssync-debug_attach — the little command that drags a whole volume back into full attachment mode. It's giving FSYNC_VOL_ATTACH opcode energy, and honestly? iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

fssync-debug_attach — forces full volume attachment (that's the FSYNC_VOL_ATTACH opcode, for the girlies taking notes 📝)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

fssync-debug at -v <volume ID>
    [-pa <exact partition name>]
    [-r <sync protocol reason code>]
    [-pr <program type code>]
    [-h]
not me showing you both the long form and the short form, because yes, every single abbreviation is legal and yes, you may use them 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The fssync-debug attach command forces full attachment of a volume. That's it, that's the whole plot, and she ate. 🔥

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -volumeid <volume ID> — gives the numeric volume ID. Volume names are NOT permitted, so don't even try it bestie, it's numbers only. 🔢
  • -partition <exact partition name> — the exact partition name, like /vicepa. Abbreviations are not permitted here — it wants the whole thing, no nicknames. 🙈
  • -reason <sync protocol reason code> — the numeric sync protocol reason code. All the available codes are listed over in the OpenAFS source file src/vol/fssync_inline.h. If you want SYNC_REASON_NONE, you pass -reason 0. periodt. 💜
  • -programtype <program type code> — the program type code. The permitted values are fileServer, volumeUtility, salvager, salvageServer, volumeServer and volumeSalvager. Six options, all valid, pick your fighter. ⭐
  • -help — prints the online help for this command. And lowkey? all other valid options are ignored when you do this, so it's help or nothing. 🎀

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

The issuer must have write access to the file server. Usually that means the issuer has to be the local superuser root on the file server machine — so like, main character privileges only, no gatecrashers. 💀
