NAME

       fs_whereis - Reports each file server housing a file or directory

SYNOPSIS

       fs whereis [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help]

       fs whe [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs whereis command returns the name of each file server machine that houses the volume containing
       each directory or file named by the -path argument.

OPTIONS

       -path <dir/file path>+
           Names  each AFS file or directory for which to return the host file server machine. Partial pathnames
           are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default  value  if  this
           argument is omitted.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The  output  includes  a  line  for each specified directory or file. It names the file server machine on
       which the volume that houses the specified directory  or  file  resides.  A  list  of  multiple  machines
       indicates that the directory or file is in a replicated volume.

       Machine  names  usually have a suffix indicating their cell membership. If the cell is not clear, use the
       fs whichcell command to display the cell in which the directory or file  resides.  To  display  the  cell
       membership of the local machine, use the fs wscell command.

EXAMPLES

       The  following example indicates that volume housing the directory /afs/example.com resides is replicated
       on both "fs1.example.com" and "fs3.example.com":

          % fs whereis -path /afs/example.com
          File /afs/example.com is on hosts fs1.example.com fs3.example.com
