NAME

getext — get VxFS extent attributes

SYNOPSIS

getext [-F vxfs] [-V] [-f] [-s] file...

DESCRIPTION

getext displays extent attribute information associated with a set of files.

Options

getext recognizes the following options:

-f

Do not print the filenames for which extent attributes are displayed.

-F vxfs

Specify the VxFS file system type.

-s

Do not print output for files that do not have fixed extent sizes or reservations.

-V

Echo the completed command line, but do not execute the command. The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options. This option allows the user to verify the command line.

Operands

getext recognizes the following operand:

file

Name of file in a VxFS file system.

Notes

Only the align and noextend allocation flags (set through setext(1M) or the VX_SETEXT ioctl) are persistent attributes of the file and therefore visible via getext or the VX_GETEXT ioctl. trim is also visible, although it is cleared and the reservation is reduced on the final close of the file.

EXAMPLES

The following example shows a file with a block size of 1024 bytes, 36 blocks reserved, a fixed extent size of 3 blocks, and all extents aligned to 3 block boundaries:

file1: Bsize 1024 Reserve 36 Extent Size 3 align noextend

The file size cannot be extended once the current reservation is exhausted. Reservations and fixed extent sizes are allocated in units of the file system block size.
