Description
The fssetverify command sets the status of data verification for store data operations in the AFS
client. When enabled, each store data operation is followed by a matching fetch data request. If the
data does not match, the operation is repeated. The complement of this command is fsgetverify, which
shows the status of data verification in the client.
The default data verification status is disabled.
This is a global setting and applies to all subsequent connections to an AFS File Server from this Cache
Manager. There is no way to enable or disable enverifyion for specific connections.
Examples
There are only four ways to invoke fssetverify. Either of:
% fs setverify -verify on
% fs setverify on
will enable data verification and:
% fs setverify -verify off
% fs setverify off
will disable data verification.
