55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56This manual page documents the
57.Nm
58utility which provides miscellaneous functions related to managing a
59.Nm HAMMER
60file system.
61For a general introduction to the
62.Nm HAMMER
63file system, its features, and
64examples on how to set up and maintain one, see
65.Xr HAMMER 5 .
66.Pp
67The options are as follows:
68.Bl -tag -width indent
69.It Fl h
70Get help.
71.It Fl 2
72Tell the mirror commands to use a 2-way protocol, which allows
73automatic negotiation of transaction id ranges.
74This option is automatically enabled by the
75.Cm mirror-copy
76command.
77.It Fl B
78Bulk Transfer.
79.Cm Mirror-stream
80will not attempt to break-up large initial bulk transfers into smaller pieces.
81This can save time but if the link is lost in the middle of the
82initial bulk transfer you will have to start over from scratch.
83.It Fl b Ar bandwidth
84Specify a bandwidth limit in bytes per second for mirroring streams.
85This option is typically used to prevent batch mirroring operations from
86loading down the machine.
87The bandwidth may be suffixed with
88.Cm k , m ,
89or
90.Cm g
91to specify values in kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes per second.
92If no suffix is specified, bytes per second is assumed.
93.It Fl C Ar cachesize Ns Op Ns Cm \&: Ns Ar readahead
94Set the memory cache size for any raw
95.Tn I/O .
96The default is 16m.
97A suffix of
98.Cm k
99for kilobytes and
100.Cm m
101for megabytes is allowed,
102else the cache size is specified in bytes.
103.Pp
104The read-behind/read-ahead defaults to 4 hammer blocks.
105.Pp
106This option is typically only used with diagnostic commands
107as kernel-supported commands will use the kernel's buffer cache.
108.It Fl c Ar cyclefile
109When pruning and reblocking you can instruction
110.Nm
111to start at the object id stored in the specified file.
112If the file does not exist
113.Nm
114will start at the beginning.
115If
116.Nm
117is told to run for a
118specific period of time and is unable to complete the operation it will
119write out the current object id so the next run can pick up where it left off.
120If
121.Nm
122runs to completion it will delete
123.Ar cyclefile .
124.It Fl f Ar blkdev Ns Oo Ns Cm \&: Ns Ar blkdev Oc Ns *
125Specify the volumes making up a
126.Nm HAMMER
127file system.
128.It Fl i Ar delay
129When maintaining a streaming mirroring this option specifies the
130minimum delay after a batch ends before the next batch is allowed
131to start.
132The default is five seconds.
133.It Fl q
134Decrease verboseness.
135May be specified multiple times.
136.It Fl r
137Specify recursion for those commands which support it.
138.It Fl t Ar seconds
139When pruning and reblocking you can tell the utility to stop after a
140certain period of time.
141This option is used along with the
142.Fl c Ar cyclefile
143option to prune or reblock a portion of the file system incrementally.
144.It Fl v
145Increase verboseness.
146May be specified multiple times.
147.It Fl y
148Force "yes" for any interactive question.
149.El
150.Pp
151The commands are as follows:
152.Bl -tag -width indent
153.\" ==== synctid ====
154.It Cm synctid Ar filesystem Op Cm quick
155Generates a guaranteed, formal 64 bit transaction id representing the
156current state of the specified
157.Nm HAMMER
158file system.
159The file system will be synced to the media.
160.Pp
161If the
162.Cm quick
163keyword is specified the file system will be soft-synced, meaning that a
164crash might still undo the state of the file system as of the transaction
165id returned but any new modifications will occur after the returned
166transaction id as expected.
167.Pp
168This operation does not create a snapshot.  It is meant to be used
169to track temporary fine-grained changes to a subset of files and
170will only remain valid for @@ snapshot access purposes for the
171.Cm prune-min
172period configured for the PFS.  If you desire a real snapshot then
173the
174.Cm snapq
175directive may be what you are looking for.
176.\" ==== bstats ====
177.It Cm bstats Op Ar interval
178Output
179.Nm HAMMER
180B-tree statistics until interrupted.
181Pause
182.Ar interval
183seconds between each display.
184The default interval is one second.
185.\" ==== iostats ====
186.It Cm iostats Op Ar interval
187Output
188.Nm HAMMER
189.Tn I/O
190statistics until interrupted.
191Pause
192.Ar interval
193seconds between each display.
194The default interval is one second.
195.\" ==== history ====
196.It Cm history Ar path ...
197Show the modification history for
198.Nm HAMMER
199file's inode and data.
200.\" ==== blockmap ====
201.It Cm blockmap
202Dump the blockmap for the file system.
203The
204.Nm HAMMER
205blockmap is two-layer
206blockmap representing the maximum possible file system size of 1 Exabyte.
207Needless to say the second layer is only present for blocks which exist.
208.Nm HAMMER Ns 's
209blockmap represents 8-Megabyte blocks, called big-blocks.
210Each big-block has an append
211point, a free byte count, and a typed zone id which allows content to be
212reverse engineered to some degree.
213.Pp
214In
215.Nm HAMMER
216allocations essentially appended to a selected big-block using
217the append offset and deducted from the free byte count.
218When space is freed the free byte count is adjusted but
219.Nm HAMMER
220does not track holes in big-blocks for reallocation.
221A big-block must be completely freed, either
222through normal file system operations or through reblocking, before
223it can be reused.
224.Pp
225Data blocks can be shared by deducting the space used from the free byte
226count for each shared references, though
227.Nm HAMMER
228does not yet make use of this feature.
229This means the free byte count can legally go negative.
230.Pp
231This command needs the
232.Fl f
233flag.
234.\" ==== show ====
235.It Cm show Op Ar lo Ns Cm \&: Ns Ar objid
236Dump the B-tree.
237By default this command will validate all B-Tree
238linkages and CRCs, including data CRCs, and will report the most verbose
239information it can dig up.
240Any errors will show up with a 'B' in column 1 along with various
241other error flags.
242.Pp
243If you specify a localization and object id field the dump will
244search for the key printing nodes as it recurses down, and then
245will iterate forwards.
246.Pp
247If you use
248.Fl q
249the command will report less information about the inode contents.
250.Pp
251If you use
252.Fl qq
253the command will not report the content of the inode or other typed
254data at all.
255.Pp
256If you use
257.Fl qqq
258the command will not report volume header information, big-block fill
259ratios, mirror transaction ids, or report or check data CRCs.
260B-tree CRCs and linkages are still checked.
261.Pp
262This command needs the
263.Fl f
264flag.
265.\" .It Ar blockmap
266.\" Dump the B-tree, record, large-data, and small-data blockmaps, showing
267.\" physical block assignments and free space percentages.
268.\" ==== namekey1 ====
269.It Cm namekey1 Ar filename
270Generate a
271.Nm HAMMER
27264 bit directory hash for the specified file name, using
273the original directory hash algorithm in version 1 of the file system.
274The low 32 bits are used as an iterator for hash collisions and will be
275output as 0.
276.\" ==== namekey2 ====
277.It Cm namekey2 Ar filename
278Generate a
279.Nm HAMMER
28064 bit directory hash for the specified file name, using
281the new directory hash algorithm in version 2 of the file system.
282The low 32 bits are still used as an iterator but will start out containing
283part of the hash key.
284.\" ==== namekey32 ====
285.It Cm namekey32 Ar filename
286Generate the top 32 bits of a
287.Nm HAMMER
28864 bit directory hash for the specified file name.
289.\" ==== info ====
290.It Cm info
291Shows extended information about all the mounted
292.Nm HAMMER
293file systems.
294At the moment volume identification, big-blocks information and space details
295are shown.
296.\" ==== cleanup ====
297.It Cm cleanup Op Ar filesystem ...
298This is a meta-command which executes snapshot, prune, rebalance and reblock
299commands on the specified
300.Nm HAMMER
301file system(s).
302If no
303.Ar filesystem
304is specified this command will clean-up all
305.Nm HAMMER
306file systems in use, including PFS's.
307To do this it will scan all
308.Nm HAMMER
309and
310.Nm null
311mounts, extract PFS id's, and clean-up each PFS found.
312.Pp
313This command will by default access a
314.Pa snapshots
315subdirectory and a
316.Pa snapshots/config
317file for each
318.Ar filesystem ,
319creating them if necessary.
320The format of the configuration file is:
321.Bd -literal -offset indent
322snapshots  <period> <retention-time> [any]
323prune      <period> <max-runtime>
324rebalance  <period> <max-runtime>
325reblock    <period> <max-runtime>
326recopy     <period> <max-runtime>
327.Ed
328.Pp
329Defaults are:
330.Bd -literal -offset indent
331snapshots  1d 60d  # 0d 0d  for PFS /tmp, /var/tmp, /usr/obj
332prune      1d 5m
333rebalance  1d 5m
334reblock    1d 5m
335recopy     30d 10m
336.Ed
337.Pp
338Time is given with a suffix of
339.Cm d ,
340.Cm h ,
341.Cm m
342or
343.Cm s
344meaning day, hour, minute and second.
345.Pp
346If the
347.Cm snapshots
348directive has a period of 0 and a retention time of 0
349then snapshot generation is disabled, removal of old snapshots are
350disabled, and prunes will use
351.Cm prune-everything .
352If the
353.Cm snapshots
354directive has a period of 0 but a non-zero retention time
355then this command will not create any new snapshots but will remove old
356snapshots it finds based on the retention time.
357.Pp
358By default only snapshots in the form
359.Ql snap- Ns Ar yyyymmdd Ns Op - Ns Ar HHMM
360are processed.
361If the
362.Cm any
363directive is specified as a third argument on the
364.Cm snapshots
365config line then any softlink of the form
366.Ql *- Ns Ar yyyymmdd Ns Op - Ns Ar HHMM
367or
368.Ql *. Ns Ar yyyymmdd Ns Op - Ns Ar HHMM
369will be processed.
370.Pp
371A prune max-runtime of 0 means unlimited.
372.Pp
373If period hasn't passed since the previous
374.Cm cleanup
375run nothing is done.
376For example a day has passed when midnight is passed (localtime).
377By default,
378.Dx
379is set up to run
380.Nm Ar cleanup
381nightly via
382.Xr periodic 8 .
383.Pp
384The default configuration file will create a daily snapshot, do a daily
385pruning, rebalancing and reblocking run and a monthly recopy run.
386Reblocking is defragmentation with a level of 95%,
387and recopy is full defragmentation.
388.Pp
389By default prune and rebalance operations are time limited to 5 minutes,
390reblock operations to a bit over 5 minutes,
391and recopy operations to a bit over 10 minutes.
392Reblocking and recopy runs are each broken down into four separate functions:
393btree, inodes, dirs and data.
394Each function is time limited to the time given in the configuration file,
395but the btree, inodes and dirs functions usually does not take very long time,
396full defragmentation is always used for these three functions.
397Also note that this directive will by default disable snapshots on
398the following PFS's:
399.Pa /tmp ,
400.Pa /var/tmp
401and
402.Pa /usr/obj .
403.Pp
404The defaults may be adjusted by modifying the
405.Pa config
406file.
407The pruning and reblocking commands automatically maintain a cyclefile
408for incremental operation.
409If you interrupt (^C) the program the cyclefile will be updated,
410but a sub-command
411may continue to run in the background for a few seconds until the
412.Nm HAMMER
413ioctl detects the interrupt.
414The
415.Cm snapshots
416PFS option can be set to use another location for the snapshots directory.
417.Pp
418Work on this command is still in progress.
419Expected additions:
420An ability to remove snapshots dynamically as the
421file system becomes full.
422.\" ==== config ====
423.It Cm config Ar filesystem Op configfile
424(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
425If one argument is specified this function dumps the current configuration
426file to stdout.  This configuration file is stored in filesystem meta-data.
427If two arguments are specified this function installs a new config file.
428.Pp
429In
430.Nm HAMMER
431versions less then 3 the configuration file is stored in
432.Pa <fs>/snapshots/config ,
433but in all later versions the configuration file is stored in filesystem
434meta-data.
435.It Cm viconfig Ar filesystem
436(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
437Edit the configuration file and reinstall into filesystem meta-data when
438done.
439.\" ==== expand ====
440.It Cm expand Ar filesystem Ar device
441This command will format
442.Ar device
443and add all of its space to
444.Ar filesystem .
445.Pp
446.Em NOTE!
447All existing data contained on
448.Ar device
449will be destroyed by this operation!
450If
451.Ar device
452contains a valid
453.Nm HAMMER
454filesystem, formatting will be denied. You can overcome this sanity check
455by using
456.Xr dd 1
457to erase the beginning sectors of the device.
458Also remember that you have to specify
459.Ar device ,
460together with any other device that make the filesystem, colon-separated to
461.Xr mount_hammer 8 .
462.\" ==== snapshot ====
463.It Cm snapshot Oo Ar filesystem Oc Ar snapshot-dir
464.It Cm snapshot Ar filesystem Ar snapshot-dir Ar note
465Takes a snapshot of the file system either explicitly given by
466.Ar filesystem
467or implicitly derived from the
468.Ar snapshot-dir
469argument and creates a symlink in the directory provided by
470.Ar snapshot-dir
471pointing to the snapshot.
472If
473.Ar snapshot-dir
474is not a directory, it is assumed to be a format string passed to
475.Xr strftime 3
476with the current time as parameter.
477If
478.Ar snapshot-dir
479refers to an existing directory, a default format string of
480.Ql snap-%Y%d%m-%H%M
481is assumed and used as name for the newly created symlink.
482.Pp
483Snapshot is a per PFS operation, so a
484.Nm HAMMER
485file system and each PFS in it have to be snapshot separately.
486.Pp
487Example, assuming that
488.Pa /mysnapshots
489is on file system
490.Pa /
491and that
492.Pa /obj
493is a file system on its own, the following invocations:
494.Bd -literal -offset indent
495hammer snapshot /mysnapshots
496
497hammer snapshot /mysnapshots/%Y-%m-%d
498
499hammer snapshot /obj /mysnapshots/obj-%Y-%m-%d
500
501hammer snapshot /usr /my/snaps/for/usr "note"
502.Ed
503.Pp
504Would create symlinks similar to:
505.Bd -literal -offset indent
506/mysnapshots/snap-20080627-1210 -> /@@0x10d2cd05b7270d16
507
508/mysnapshots/2008-06-27 -> /@@0x10d2cd05b7270d16
509
510/mysnapshots/obj-2008-06-27 -> /obj@@0x10d2cd05b7270d16
511.Ed
512.Pp
513When run on a
514.Nm HAMMER
515version 3+ filesystem the snapshot is also recorded in meta-data
516along with the optional note.  See the
517.Cm snapls
518directive.
519.\" ==== snap* ====
520.It Cm snap Ar path Op "note"
521(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
522Create the named snapshot softlink.  If the path specified is a
523directory a standard snapshot softlink will be created in the directory.
524The snapshot softlink points to the base of the mounted PFS.
525.It Cm snaplo Ar path Op "note"
526(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
527Create the named snapshot softlink.  If the path specified is a
528directory a standard snapshot softlink will be created in the directory.
529The snapshot softlink points into the directory it is contained in.
530.It Cm snapq Ar dir Op "note"
531(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
532Create a snapshot for the PFS containing the specified directory but do
533not create a softlink.  Instead output a path which can be used to access
534the directory via the snapshot.
535.Pp
536An absolute or relative path may be specified.  The path will be used
537as-is as a prefix in the path output to stdout.  As with the other
538snap and snapshot directives the snapshot transaction id will be registered
539in the filesystem meta-data.
540.It Cm snaprm Op fs Ar path/transid
541(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
542Remove a snapshot given its softlink.  If specifying a transaction id
543the snapshot is removed from filesystem meta-data but you are responsible
544for removing any related softlinks.
545.It Cm snapls
546(HAMMER VERSION 3+)
547Dump the snapshot meta-data in the filesystem, listing all available
548snapshots and their notes.  This is the definitive list of snapshots
549for the filesystem.
550.\" ==== prune ====
551.It Cm prune Ar softlink-dir
552Prune the file system based on previously created snapshot softlinks.
553Pruning is the act of deleting file system history.
554The
555.Cm prune
556command will delete file system history such that
557the file system state is retained for the given snapshots,
558and all history after the latest snapshot.
559By setting the per PFS parameter
560.Cm prune-min ,
561history is guaranteed to be saved at least this time interval.
562All other history is deleted.
563.Pp
564The target directory is expected to contain softlinks pointing to
565snapshots of the file systems you wish to retain.
566The directory is scanned non-recursively and the mount points and
567transaction ids stored in the softlinks are extracted and sorted.
568The file system is then explicitly pruned according to what is found.
569Cleaning out portions of the file system is as simple as removing a
570snapshot softlink and then running the
571.Cm prune
572command.
573.Pp
574As a safety measure pruning only occurs if one or more softlinks are found
575containing the
576.Ql @@
577snapshot id extension.
578Currently the scanned softlink directory must contain softlinks pointing
579to a single
580.Nm HAMMER
581mount.
582The softlinks may specify absolute or relative paths.
583Softlinks must use 20-character
584.Ql @@0x%016llx
585transaction ids, as might be returned from
586.Nm Cm synctid Ar filesystem .
587.Pp
588Pruning is a per PFS operation, so a
589.Nm HAMMER
590file system and each PFS in it have to be pruned separately.
591.Pp
592Note that pruning a file system may not immediately free-up space,
593though typically some space will be freed if a large number of records are
594pruned out.
595The file system must be reblocked to completely recover all available space.
596.Pp
597Example, lets say your that you didn't set
598.Cm prune-min ,
599and snapshot directory contains the following links:
600.Bd -literal -offset indent

611If you were to run the
612.Cm prune
613command on this directory, then the
614.Nm HAMMER
615.Pa /usr/obj
616mount will be pruned to retain the above three snapshots.
617In addition, history for modifications made to the file system older than
618the oldest snapshot will be destroyed and history for potentially fine-grained
619modifications made to the file system more recently than the most recent
620snapshot will be retained.
621.Pp
622If you then delete the
623.Pa snap2
624softlink and rerun the
625.Cm prune
626command,
627history for modifications pertaining to that snapshot would be destroyed.
628.Pp
629In
630.Nm HAMMER
631filesystem versions 3+ this command also scans the snapshots stored
632in the filesystem meta-data and includes them in the prune.
633.\" ==== prune-everything ====
634.It Cm prune-everything Ar filesystem
635This command will remove all historical records from the file system.
636This directive is not normally used on a production system.
637.Pp
638This command does not remove snapshot softlinks but will delete all
639snapshots recorded in filesystem meta-data (for filesystem version 3+).
640The user is responsible for deleting any softlinks.
641.\" ==== rebalance ====
642.It Cm rebalance Ar filesystem Op Ar saturation_level
643This command will rebalance the B-tree, nodes with small number of
644elements will be combined and element counts will be smoothed out
645between nodes.
646.Pp
647The saturation level is a percentage between 50 and 100.
648The default is 75 percent.
649.\" ==== reblock ====

652.It Cm reblock-inodes Ar filesystem Op Ar fill_percentage
653.It Cm reblock-dirs Ar filesystem Op Ar fill_percentage
654.It Cm reblock-data Ar filesystem Op Ar fill_percentage
655Attempt to defragment and free space for reuse by reblocking a live
656.Nm HAMMER
657file system.
658Big-blocks cannot be reused by
659.Nm HAMMER
660until they are completely free.
661This command also has the effect of reordering all elements, effectively
662defragmenting the file system.
663.Pp
664The default fill percentage is 100% and will cause the file system to be
665completely defragmented.
666All specified element types will be reallocated and rewritten.
667If you wish to quickly free up space instead try specifying
668a smaller fill percentage, such as 90% or 80% (the
669.Sq %
670suffix is not needed).
671.Pp
672Since this command may rewrite the entire contents of the disk it is
673best to do it incrementally from a
674.Xr cron 8
675job along with the
676.Fl c Ar cyclefile
677and
678.Fl t Ar seconds
679options to limit the run time.
680The file system would thus be defragmented over long period of time.
681.Pp
682It is recommended that separate invocations be used for each data type.
683B-tree nodes, inodes, and directories are typically the most important
684elements needing defragmentation.
685Data can be defragmented over a longer period of time.
686.Pp
687Reblocking is a per PFS operation, so a
688.Nm HAMMER
689file system and each PFS in it have to be reblocked separately.

703.Pp
704The
705.Cm pfs-master
706directive creates a PFS that you can read, write, and use as a mirroring
707source.
708.Pp
709It is recommended to use a

718Up to 65535 such file systems can be created.
719Each PFS uses an independent inode numbering space making it suitable
720for use as a replication source or target.
721.Pp
722The
723.Cm pfs-slave
724directive creates a PFS that you can use as a mirroring target.
725You will not be able to access a slave PFS until you have completed the
726first mirroring operation with it as the target (its root directory will
727not exist until then).
728.Pp
729Access to the pfs-slave via the special softlink, as described in the
730.Sx PFS NOTES
731below, allows
732.Nm HAMMER
733to
734dynamically modify the snapshot transaction id by returning a dynamic result
735from
736.Xr readlink 2
737calls.
738.Pp
739A PFS can only be truly destroyed with the
740.Cm pfs-destroy
741directive.
742Removing the softlink will not destroy the underlying PFS.
743.Pp
744It is recommended to use a
745.Nm null
746mount to access a PFS, for more information see
747.Xr HAMMER 5 .
748.\" ==== pfs-update ====
749.It Cm pfs-update Ar dirpath Op Ar options
750Update the configuration parameters for an existing

752file system or pseudo-filesystem.
753Options that may be specified:
754.Bl -tag -width indent
755.It Cm sync-beg-tid= Ns Ar 0x16llx
756This is the automatic snapshot access starting transaction id for
757mirroring slaves.
758This parameter is normally updated automatically by the
759.Cm mirror-write
760directive.
761.Pp
762It is important to note that accessing a mirroring slave
763with a transaction id greater than the last fully synchronized transaction
764id can result in an unreliable snapshot since you will be accessing
765data that is still undergoing synchronization.
766.Pp
767Manually modifying this field is dangerous and can result in a broken mirror.
768.It Cm sync-end-tid= Ns Ar 0x16llx
769This is the current synchronization point for mirroring slaves.
770This parameter is normally updated automatically by the
771.Cm mirror-write
772directive.
773.Pp
774Manually modifying this field is dangerous and can result in a broken mirror.
775.It Cm shared-uuid= Ns Ar uuid
776Set the shared UUID for this file system.
777All mirrors must have the same shared UUID.
778For safety purposes the
779.Cm mirror-write
780directives will refuse to operate on a target with a different shared UUID.
781.Pp
782Changing the shared UUID on an existing, non-empty mirroring target,
783including an empty but not completely pruned target,
784can lead to corruption of the mirroring target.
785.It Cm unique-uuid= Ns Ar uuid
786Set the unique UUID for this file system.
787This UUID should not be used anywhere else,
788even on exact copies of the file system.
789.It Cm label= Ns Ar string
790Set a descriptive label for this file system.
791.It Cm snapshots= Ns Ar string
792Specify the snapshots directory which
793.Nm
794.Cm cleanup
795will use to manage this PFS.
796The snapshots directory does not need to be configured for
797PFS masters and will default to
798.Pa <pfs>/snapshots .
799.Pp
800PFS slaves are mirroring slaves so you cannot configure a snapshots
801directory on the slave itself to be managed by the slave's machine.
802In fact, the slave will likely have a
803.Pa snapshots
804sub-directory mirrored
805from the master, but that directory contains the configuration the master
806is using for its copy of the file system, not the configuration that we
807want to use for our slave.
808.Pp
809It is recommended that
810.Pa <fs>/var/slaves/<name>
811be configured for a PFS slave, where
812.Pa <fs>
813is the base
814.Nm HAMMER
815file system, and
816.Pa <name>
817is an appropriate label.
818You can control snapshot retention on your slave independent of the master.
819.It Cm snapshots-clear
820Zero out the
821.Cm snapshots
822directory path for this PFS.
823.It Cm prune-min= Ns Ar N Ns Cm d
824.It Cm prune-min= Ns Xo
825.Op Ar N Ns Cm d/ Ns
826.Ar hh Ns Op Cm \&: Ns Ar mm Ns Op Cm \&: Ns Ar ss
827.Xc
828Set the minimum fine-grained data retention period.
829.Nm HAMMER
830always retains fine-grained history up to the most recent snapshot.
831You can extend the retention period further by specifying a non-zero
832pruning minimum.
833Any snapshot softlinks within the retention period are ignored
834for the purposes of pruning (the fine grained history is retained).
835Number of days, hours, minutes and seconds are given as
836.Ar N , hh , mm
837and
838.Ar ss .
839.Pp
840Because the transaction id in the snapshot softlink cannot be used
841to calculate a timestamp,
842.Nm HAMMER
843uses the earlier of the
844.Fa st_ctime
845or
846.Fa st_mtime
847field of the softlink to
848determine which snapshots fall within the retention period.
849Users must be sure to retain one of these two fields when manipulating
850the softlink.

852.\" ==== pfs-upgrade ====
853.It Cm pfs-upgrade Ar dirpath
854Upgrade a PFS from slave to master operation.
855The PFS will be rolled back to the current end synchronization transaction id
856(removing any partial synchronizations), and will then become writable.
857.Pp
858.Em WARNING!
859.Nm HAMMER
860currently supports only single masters and using
861this command can easily result in file system corruption
862if you don't know what you are doing.

913This is a shortcut which pipes a
914.Cm mirror-read
915command to a
916.Cm mirror-write
917command.
918If a remote host specification is made the program forks a
919.Xr ssh 1
920and execs the
921.Cm mirror-read
922and/or
923.Cm mirror-write
924on the appropriate host.
925The source may be a master or slave PFS, and the target must be a slave PFS.
926.Pp
927This command also established full duplex communication and turns on
928the two-way protocol feature which automatically negotiates transaction id
929ranges without having to use a cyclefile.
930If the operation completes successfully the target PFS's
931.Cm sync-end-tid
932will be updated.
933Note that you must re-chdir into the target PFS to see the updated information.
934If you do not you will still be in the previous snapshot.

944This command works similarly to
945.Cm mirror-copy
946but does not exit after the initial mirroring completes.
947The mirroring operation will resume as changes continue to be made to the
948master.
949The command is commonly used with
950.Fl i Ar delay
951and
952.Fl b Ar bandwidth
953options to keep the mirroring target in sync with the source on a continuing
954basis.
955.Pp
956If the pipe is broken the command will automatically retry after sleeping
957for a short while.
958The time slept will be 15 seconds plus the time given in the
959.Fl i
960option.
961.Pp
962This command also detects the initial-mirroring case and spends some
963time scanning the B-Tree to find good break points, allowing the initial
964bulk mirroring operation to be broken down into about 20 separate pieces.
965This means that the user can kill and restart the operation and it will
966not have to start from scratch once it has gotten past the first chunk.
967The

1015.Sh PSEUDO-FILESYSTEM (PFS) NOTES
1016The root of a PFS is not hooked into the primary
1017.Nm HAMMER
1018file system as a directory.
1019Instead,
1020.Nm HAMMER
1021creates a special softlink called
1022.Ql @@PFS%05d
1023(exactly 10 characters long) in the primary
1024.Nm HAMMER
1025file system.
1026.Nm HAMMER
1027then modifies the contents of the softlink as read by
1028.Xr readlink 2 ,
1029and thus what you see with an
1030.Xr ls 1
1031command or if you were to
1032.Xr cd 1
1033into the link.
1034If the PFS is a master the link reflects the current state of the PFS.
1035If the PFS is a slave the link reflects the last completed snapshot, and the
1036contents of the link will change when the next snapshot is completed, and
1037so forth.
1038.Pp
1039The
1040.Nm
1041utility employs numerous safeties to reduce user foot-shooting.
1042The
1043.Cm mirror-copy
1044directive requires that the target be configured as a slave and that the
1045.Cm shared-uuid
1046field of the mirroring source and target match.
1047.Sh UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS HAMMER V1 TO V2
1048This upgrade changes the way directory entries are stored.  It
1049is possible to upgrade a V1 filesystem to V2 in place, but
1050directories created prior to the upgrade will continue to use
1051the old layout.
1052.Pp
1053Note that the slave mirroring code in the target kernel had bugs in
1054V1 which can create an incompatible root directory on the slave.
1055Do not mix a HAMMER master created after the upgrade with a HAMMER
1056slave created prior to the upgrade.
1057.Pp
1058Any directories created after upgrading will use a new layout.
1059.Sh UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS HAMMER V2 TO V3
1060This upgrade adds meta-data elements to the B-Tree.  It is
1061possible to upgrade a V2 filesystem to V3 in place.  After
1062issuing the upgrade be sure to run a 'hammer cleanup' to
1063perform post-upgrade tasks.
1064.Pp
1065After making this upgrade running a hammer cleanup will move the
1066.Pa <fs>/snapshots
1067directory for each PFS mount into
1068.Pa /var/hammer/<path-from-root> .
1069A HAMMER root mount will migrated
1070.Pa /snapshots
1071into
1072.Pa /var/hammer/root .
1073Migration occurs only once and only if you have not specified
1074a snapshots directory in the PFS configuration.  If you have
1075specified a snapshots directory in the PFS configuration no
1076automatic migration will occur.
1077.Pp
1078For slaves, if you desire, you can migrate your snapshots
1079config to the new location manually and then clear the
1080snapshot directory configuration in the slave PFS.
1081The new snapshots hierarchy is designed to work with
1082both master and slave PFSs equally well.
1083.Pp
1084In addition, the old config file will be moved to meta-data,
1085editable via the new hammer
1086.Cm viconfig
1087directive.  The old config file will be deleted.
1088Migration occurs only once.
1089.Pp
1090The V3 filesystem has new
1091.Cm snap*
1092directives for creating snapshots.
1093All snapshot directives, including the original, will create
1094meta-data entries for the snapshots and the pruning code will
1095automatically incorporate these entries into its list and
1096expire them the same way it expires softlinks.
1097If you accidently blow away your snapshot softlinks you can use
1098the
1099.Cm snapls
1100directive to get a definitive list from the meta-data and
1101regenerate them from that list.
1102.Pp
1103WARNING!  If you are using hammer to backup filesystems your scripts
1104may be using the
1105.Cm synctid
1106directive to generate transaction ids.  This directive does not create
1107a snapshot.  You will have to modify your scripts to use the
1108.Cm snapq
1109directive to generate the linkbuf for the softlink you create, or
1110use one of the other
1111.Cm snap*
1112directives.
1113The older
1114.Cm snapshot
1115directive will continue to work as expected and in V3 it will also
1116record the snapshot transaction id in meta-data.  You may also want
1117to make use of the new 'note' tag for the meta-data.
1118.Pp
1119WARNING!  If you used to remove snapshot softlinks with
1120.Nm rm
1121you should probably start using the
1122.Cm snaprm
1123directive instead to also remove the related meta-data.
1124The pruning code scans the meta-data so just removing the
1125softlink is not sufficient.
