14 xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image gener‐
15 ated by xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The source argument specifies
16 the location of the metadump image and the target argument specifies
17 the destination for the filesystem image. If the source is -, then the
18 metadata image is read from stdin. This allows the output of be another
19 program such as a compression application to be redirected to
20 xfs_mdrestore. The target can be either a file or a device.
21
22 xfs_mdrestore should not be used to restore metadata onto an existing
23 filesystem unless you are completely certain the target can be
24 destroyed.
25
27 -g Shows restore progress on stdout.
28
29 -i Shows metadump information on stdout. If no target is speci‐
30 fied, exits after displaying information. Older metadumps man
31 not include any descriptive information.
32
33 -V Prints the version number and exits.
34
36 xfs_mdrestore returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is success‐
37 fully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
