35 .Nd install random inode generation numbers in a filesystem
44 writes random inode generation numbers for all the inodes on device
46 These random numbers make the NFS filehandles less predictable, increasing
47 security of exported filesystems.
50 should be run on a clean and unmounted filesystem.
52 The options are as follows:
53 .Bl -tag -width indent
57 is a file system image, rather than a device name.
61 without requiring that it is a raw character device and without
62 attempting to read a disklabel.
64 Print the current inode generation numbers; the filesystem is not modified.
66 Exclusive-or the given constant with the random number used in the generation
71 exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.
77 signal, statistics on the amount of work completed and estimated
78 completion time (in minutes:seconds) will be written to the standard
