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.
