JOURNAL_SKIP_RECOVER(9) 				     The Linux Journalling API					   JOURNAL_SKIP_RECOVER(9)

NAME
       journal_skip_recovery - Start journal and wipe exiting records

SYNOPSIS
       int journal_skip_recovery(journal_t * journal);

ARGUMENTS
       journal
	   journal to startup

DESCRIPTION
       Locate any valid recovery information from the journal and set up the journal structures in memory to ignore it (presumably because the
       caller has evidence that it is out of date). This function does'nt appear to be exorted..

       We perform one pass over the journal to allow us to tell the user how much recovery information is being erased, and to let us initialise
       the journal transaction sequence numbers to the next unused ID.
