FSSYNC-DEBUG_MOVE(8)

💅 fssync-debug_move — ok bestie, let's talk volume moved flags

So this page is from the AFS Command Reference, and it's all about fssync-debug_move (you'll also see it as FSSYNC-DEBUG_MOVE(8) in the wild). Lowkey a niche little command, but if you're here you already know. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fssync-debug_move — sets the volume moved flag (that's the FSYNC_VOL_MOVE opcode, periodt).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

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

Not me giving you the short version too, because yes, move and mov are both valid and every flag has a glow-down abbreviation. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The fssync-debug move command sets the volume moved flag. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It's giving one (1) job and it does it. Simple, iconic, focused. 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -volumeid <volume ID> — specifies the numeric volume ID. Numbers only bestie, volume names are not permitted here, don't even try it. 🚫
• -partition <exact partition name> — specifies the exact partition name (like /vicepa). Abbreviations are not permitted, so spell the whole thing out, no shortcuts, no lazy typing, we're being precise today. ✨
• -reason <sync protocol reason code> — specifies the numeric sync protocol reason code. The available codes are listed in the OpenAFS source file src/vol/fssync_inline.h. And for SYNC_REASON_NONE, you use -reason 0. iykyk. 🔥
• -programtype <program type code> — specifies the program type code. The permitted values are fileServer, volumeUtility, salvager, salvageServer, volumeServer and volumeSalvager. Pick one, pick wisely. 🌈
• -help — prints the online help for this command. And the way that all other valid options are ignored when you do this?? Obsessed, it's like the option that hangs up on all the others. 💀

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

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

no cap: if you're not root on that file server box, this command is not happening for you. permission checked, vibe checked. 🫶
