An access is defined as a fetch or store operation on any file system object stored in the volume. Both of these categories are further broken down into all reads and writes versus those initiated by authenticated users and processes. The Writes Affecting Authorship table contains information on writes made to files and directories in the specified volume name or id. The vos listvol command displays information from the volume header. The vos examine command also displays information from the volume header, in combination with VLDB information.
Most vos commands accept the following optional arguments and flags.
This flag is only useful for commands issued on file server machines, since client workstations do not have a KeyFile. An example might be a command that automatically runs the vos backup command on certain volumes in preparation for archival backups. See the chapter in the AFS System Administrator's Guide about backing up the system. Useful mainly for debugging and tracing purposes. No other arguments or flags should be provided at the same time.
