Showing GuardPoints During Rekey (Linux)

Use the following command to display a list of known LDT metadata stores and any associated GuardPoints currently undergoing transformation.

voradmin ldt list all
MDS_1:  type=file, nguards=0, name=/disk2/__vorm_mds__
        Guard Table: version 1 nentries 0
MDS_2:  type=file, nguards=0, name=/disk3/__vorm_mds__
        Guard Table: version 1 nentries 0
MDS_3:  type=file, nguards=0, name=/disk4/__vorm_mds__
        Guard Table: version 1 nentries 0

For an overview of voradmin ldt commands, see LDT Command-Line Administration: voradmin command.
