NAME

6       pmempool-check -- check and repair persistent memory pool
7

SYNOPSIS

9              $ pmempool check [<options>] <file>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  pmempool  invoked with check command checks consistency of a given
13       pool file.  If the pool file is consistent pmempool exits with 0 value.
14       If the pool file is not consistent non-zero error code is returned.
15
16       In  case  of  any errors, the proper message is printed.  The verbosity
17       level may be increased using -v option.  The output messages may be al‐
18       so suppressed using -q option.
19
20       It  is possible to try to fix encountered problems using -r option.  In
21       order to be sure this will not corrupt your data you can either  create
22       backup  of  the  pool  file using -b option or just print what would be
23       fixed without modifying original pool using -N option.
24
25              NOTE: Currently, checking the consistency of a pmemobj  pool  is
26              not supported.

40       DAX.
41
42       -b, --backup <file>
43
44       Create backup of a pool file before executing.  Terminate if it is  not
45       possible to create a backup file.  This option requires -r option.
46
47       -a, --advanced
48

50       attempts to repair a pool.  This option requires -r, --repair.
