xfs_mdrestore -V
xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image
generated by
xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The
source
argument specifies the location of the metadump image and the
target
argument specifies the destination for the filesystem image. If the
source is -, then the metadata image is read from stdin. This allows
the output of be another program such as a compression application to be
redirected to
xfs_mdrestore. The
target can be either a file or
a device.
xfs_mdrestore should not be used to restore metadata onto an existing
filesystem unless you are completely certain the
target can be
destroyed.
- -g
- Shows restore progress on stdout.
- -i
- Shows metadump information on stdout. If no target
is specified, exits after displaying information. Older metadumps man not
include any descriptive information.
- -V
- Prints the version number and exits.
xfs_mdrestore returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is
successfully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
