Oracle ACFS Command-Line Tools for Tagging

Table 16-25 contains a summary of the commands for Oracle ACFS tagging.

You can run acfsutil help on all platforms to display help text. You can run acfsutil version on all platforms to display the Oracle ACFS version.

When the options are entered with commands on a Windows platform, use / instead of - with the option. For example, you can display help for acfsutil on a Linux platform with acfsutil -h. On a Windows platform, use acfsutil /h.

A mount point on a Windows operating system can be a drive letter or a directory including the drive letter. When using a drive letter in a command, include the backslash (\) with the drive letter, such as in M:\, to avoid the possibility of triggering a Windows path substitution to the last accessed path on the specified drive.

On Solaris, acfsutil tag commands can set tag names on symbolic link files, but backup and restore utilities do not save the tag names that are explicitly set on the symbolic link files. Also, symbolic link files lose explicitly set tag names if they have been moved, copied, tarred, or paxed.
