FSIRAND(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual FSIRAND(8) NAME fsirand - install random inode generation numbers SYNOPSIS fsirand [ -p ] special DESCRIPTION _F_s_i_r_a_n_d installs random inode generation numbers on all the inodes on device _s_p_e_c_i_a_l, and also installs a filesystem ID in the superblock. This helps increase the security of filesystems exported by NFS. _F_s_i_r_a_n_d must be used only on an unmounted filesystem that has been checked with _f_s_c_k(8). The only exception is that it can be used on the root filesystem in single-user mode, if the system is immediately re-booted afterwords. OPTIONS -p Print out the generation numbers for all the inodes, but do not change the generation numbers. Printed 12/27/86 1 February 1985 1
