LSSU

NAME

lssu − list usage state of NILFS2 segments

SYNOPSIS

lssu [options] [device]

DESCRIPTION

lssu is a utility for displaying the usage state of NILFS2 segments in device, where a segment is contiguous lump of disk blocks and is the allocation unit of NILFS2 disk space. When device is omitted, it tries to find a NILFS2 file system from /proc/mounts.

This command is valid only for mounted NILFS2 file systems, and will fail if the device has no active mounts.

OPTIONS

−a

Do not hide clean segments.

−h

Display help message and exit.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Every line of the lssu output consists of the following fields:

SEGNUM

Segment number.

DATE

Creation date.

TIME

Creation time.

STAT

State of the segment. It consists of three flags whose meaning is shown below:

a

The segment is active, meaning that it is recently created and cannot be reclaimed by the garbage collector.

d

The segment is dirty, meaning that it is in use.

e

The segment is erroneous, meaning that it has once caused an I/O error. NILFS2 avoids allocating the segments with this flag.

NBLOCKS

Number of in-use blocks of the segment.
