xfs_mdrestore
xfs_mdrestore(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_mdrestore(8)
NAME
xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image
SYNOPSIS
xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target
DESCRIPTION
xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image generated by xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The source argument speci-
fies the location of the metadump image and the target argument specifies the destination for the filsystem 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.
OPTIONS
-g Shows restore progress on stdout.
DIAGNOSTICS
xfs_mdrestore returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is succesfully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
xfs_metadump(8), xfs_repair(8), xfs_check(8), xfs(5)
