NAME¶
xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image
SYNOPSIS¶
xfs_mdrestore [ -gi ] source target
xfs_mdrestore -i source
xfs_mdrestore -V
DESCRIPTION¶
xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image generated by xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The source argument specifies the location of the metadump image and the target argument specifies the destination for the filesystem 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.
