gfs2_trace(8)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the gfs2_trace(8) page 💖 this one lives in the System Manager's Manual and it's your little backstage pass to GFS2 trace events.

gfs2_trace — can enable trace events, disable trace events, and capture data from GFS2 trace events. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gfs2_trace [-dqEN] [-e trace event name] [-n trace event name] [-o
output filename]

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so like, gfs2_trace can enable and disable trace events — either all of them or just the selected ones you're obsessed with. you get to choose 💅

and it doesn't just flip switches, bestie. gfs2_trace can also capture the output of the trace events and write that output to a file. when you're capturing trace events, the script will exit when control-c is pressed — and the trace events will then be written to the selected file. so don't panic when it just sits there, it's collecting, it's doing its thing 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — prints out a short usage message and exits. baby's first flag, always there for you 🌈
• -d, --debug — enables debug logging. when you need to see everything going on 🔍
• -q, --quiet — disables logging to console. no talking, just vibes 🤫
• -l, --list — lists the enabled state and filters for the GFS2 trace events. perfect for a lil vibe check on what's currently turned on 👑
• -E, --enable_all_trace_events — enables all trace_events for GFS2. go big or go home, all of them, periodt 🔥
• -e <trace event name>, ----enable_trace_event=<trace event name> — selected trace_events that will be enabled for GFS2. pick your faves instead of the whole menu 🎀
• -N, --disable_all_trace_events — disables all trace_events for GFS2. closing time, everyone out 💀
• -n <trace event name>, ----disable_trace_event=<trace event name> — selected trace_events that will be enabled for GFS2. yep, that's literally what the page says, i'm not touching it 🙈
• -c <output filename>, --capture=<output filename> — enables capturing of trace events and will save the data to a file. this is the main character of the whole tool ngl 🌟

also real talk: the synopsis up there shows -o output filename and the options list shows -c <output filename>, --capture=<output filename>. i'm just telling you exactly what's written, bestie — that's the manual's business, not mine 💜
