Change references to the documentation sets that we still ship to reference the OpenAFS manuals instead of the IBM AFS manuals. Remove references to the IBM AFS/DFS Migration documentation, since that doesn't appear to be available anywhere any more, replacing them where relevant to more generic references to the DFS documentation. Add links to docs.openafs.org for mentions of the manuals in SEE ALSO, and standardize on one link format. Replace a few references to the IBM AFS Release Notes with the actual information in those notes, or drop the reference if it doesn't seem particularly useful.

fstrace - Introduction to the fstrace command suite
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The commands in the B<fstrace> command suite are the interface that system
|
|
administrators employ to trace Cache Manager operations for debugging
|
|
purposes. Examples of Cache Manager operations are fetching file data or
|
|
the status information used to produce output for the UNIX B<ls> command.
|
|
|
|
The B<fstrace> command interpreter defines an extensive set of Cache
|
|
Manager operations as the C<cm> I<event set>. When the event set is
|
|
activated, the Cache Manager writes a message to the C<cmfx> I<trace log>
|
|
in kernel memory each time it performs one of the defined operations. The
|
|
log expands only to a defined size (by default, 60 KB), after which it is
|
|
overwritten in a circular fashion (new trace messages overwrite the oldest
|
|
ones). If an operation of particular interest occurs, the administrator
|
|
can afterward display the log on the standard output stream or write it to
|
|
a file for later study. For more specific procedural instructions, see the
|
|
I<OpenAFS Administration Guide>.
|
|
|
|
There are several categories of commands in the B<fstrace> command suite:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Commands to administer or display information about the trace log:
|
|
L<B<fstrace clear>|fstrace_clear(8)>,
|
|
L<B<fstrace lslog>|fstrace_lslog(8)>,
|
|
and L<B<fstrace setlog>|fstrace_setlog(8)>.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Commands to set or display the status of the event set:
|
|
L<B<fstrace lsset>|fstrace_lsset(8)>
|
|
and L<B<fstrace setset>|fstrace_setset(8)>.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
A command to display the contents of the trace log:
|
|
L<B<fstrace dump>|fstrace_dump(8)>.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Commands to obtain help:
|
|
L<B<fstrace apropos>|fstrace_apropos(8)>
|
|
and L<B<fstrace help>|fstrace_help(8)>.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
All B<fstrace> commands accept the following optional flag. It is listed
|
|
in the command descriptions and described in detail here:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Prints a command's online help message on the standard output stream. Do
|
|
not combine this flag with any of the command's other options; when it is
|
|
provided, the command interpreter ignores all other options, and only
|
|
prints the help message.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
To issue most B<fstrace> commands, the issuer must be logged on as the
|
|
local superuser C<root> on the machine that is generating the trace log.
|
