DESCRIPTION

14       era_dump  dumps  binary  era  metadata created by the device-mapper era
15       target on a device or file to standard output for analysis or  postpro‐
16       cessing  in  XML  format.   XML  formated  metadata  can  be  fed  into
17       era_restore (see era_restore(8)) in order to put it back onto  a  meta‐
18       data device (to process by the device-mapper target) or file.
19
20       This tool cannot be run on live metadata.

33
34
35       --logical
36       Fold any unprocessed write sets into the final era array.  You probably
37       want to do this if you're intending to process the results as  it  sim‐
38       plifies the XML.
