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 successfully restored or 1 if an error occurs.

I have a large filesystem - 500GB, with around 750,000 files which I need to restore using TSM.
There are about 15 subdirectories, one of which does not need to be restored.
The subdirectory to be excluded has about half the total number of files - 350,000, so it is very inefficient to simply... (5 Replies)
