                                                                                                xfs_mdrestore(8)

Description

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.

Diagnostics

xfs_mdrestore  returns  an  exit  code of 0 if all the metadata is successfully restored or 1 if an error
       occurs.

Name

       xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image

Options

-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.

       -llogdev
              Metadump  in  v2 format can contain metadata dumped from an external log.  In such a scenario, the
              user has to provide a device to which the log device contents from the metadump file are copied.

       -rrtdev
              Restore realtime device metadata to this device.  This is only  required  for  a  metadump  in  v2
              format.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.
