STATE_ANALYZER(8) AFS Command Reference STATE_ANALYZER(8)

NAME

state_analyzer - Explores and queries the fileserver state database interactively

SYNOPSIS

state_analyzer [state dump file | -h]

DESCRIPTION

The demand-attach file server makes host / callback information persistent. On shutdown, the state is saved to database fsstate.dat(5). On startup, the state is read, verified and restored. This allows for file server shutdowns or restarts without breaking all callbacks (an operation that could otherwise take a long time).
state_analyzer interactively explores and queries the saved state database, fsstate.dat(5).
This command is only supported on the demand-attach file server. It operates at an extremely low-level and hence requires detailed knowledge of the OpenAFS architecture and code.
