NAME

6       xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target
10       xfs_mdrestore -V
11

DESCRIPTION

13       xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image gener‐
14       ated by xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The source argument  specifies
15       the  location  of  the metadump image and the target argument specifies
16       the destination for the filesystem image.  If the source is -, then the
17       metadata image is read from stdin. This allows the output of be another
18       program  such  as  a  compression  application  to  be  redirected   to
19       xfs_mdrestore.  The target can be either a file or a device.
20
21       xfs_mdrestore  should  not be used to restore metadata onto an existing
22       filesystem  unless  you  are  completely  certain  the  target  can  be
23       destroyed.
24

DIAGNOSTICS

32       fully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
