Contents
Debugging Options
--debug-override-metadata-version{integer}
Override the version stored in the metadata.
--omit-clean-shutdown

Description
cache_restore restores cache metadata created by the respective device-mapper target dumped into an XML
formatted (see cache_dump(8)) file, which optionally can be preprocessed before the restore to another
device or file. If restored to a metadata device, the metadata can be processed by the device-mapper
target.
This tool cannot be run on live metadata.
Diagnostics
cache_restore returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.
Example
Restores the XML formatted cache metadata on file metadata to logical volume /dev/vg/metadata for further
processing by the respective device-mapper target:
$ cache_restore -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata
