logredo(8)						 JFS utility - replay journal log						logredo(8)

NAME
       logredo - "replay" a JFS formatted device's journal log

SYNOPSIS
       logredo device

DESCRIPTION
       logredo	applies  all committed transactions recorded in the JFS journal log since the most recent synch point.	Its goal is to put the JFS
       file system in the state it would have been in if all transactions had been applied, in order, by the JFS file system itself.

       device is the special file name corresponding to the actual device on which the journal log will be replayed (e.g.  /dev/hdb1 ).

       logredo must be run as root.

WARNING
       logredo is called from within fsck.jfs, and is not recommended to be run as a stand-alone utility unless completely necessary, and only	by
       advanced users with a clear understanding of journaling in a file system.
