implementation didn't used a good random generator, this is not true anymore since arc4random(3) is used these days. Pointed out by Jeff Ito in PR/30321

.Nd install random inode generation numbers in a filesystem
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl F
|
|
.Op Fl p
|
|
.Op Fl x Ar constant
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
writes random inode generation numbers for all the inodes on device
|
|
.Ar special .
|
|
These random numbers make the NFS filehandles less predictable, increasing
|
|
security of exported filesystems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should be run on a clean and unmounted filesystem.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
is a file system image, rather than a device name.
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
will be accessed
|
|
.Sq as-is ,
|
|
without requiring that it is a raw character device and without
|
|
attempting to read a disklabel.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Print the current inode generation numbers; the filesystem is not modified.
|
|
.It Fl x Ar constant
|
|
Exclusive-or the given constant with the random number used in the generation
|
|
process.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
receives a
|
|
.Dv SIGINFO
|
|
signal, statistics on the amount of work completed and estimated
|
|
completion time (in minutes:seconds) will be written to the standard
|
|
error output.
