NAME

6       innochecksum - offline InnoDB file checksum utility
7

SYNOPSIS

9       innochecksum [options] file_name
10

DESCRIPTION

12       innochecksum prints checksums for InnoDB files. This tool reads an
13       InnoDB tablespace file, calculates the checksum for each page, compares
14       the calculated checksum to the stored checksum, and reports mismatches,
15       which indicate damaged pages. It was originally developed to speed up
16       verifying the integrity of tablespace files after power outages but can
17       also be used after file copies. Because checksum mismatches will cause
18       InnoDB to deliberately shut down a running server, it can be preferable
19       to use this tool rather than waiting for a server in production usage
20       to encounter the damaged pages.
21
22       innochecksum cannot be used on tablespace files that the server already
23       has open. For such files, you should use CHECK TABLE to check tables
24       within the tablespace.
25
26       If checksum mismatches are found, you would normally restore the
27       tablespace from backup or start the server and attempt to use mysqldump
28       to make a backup of the tables within the tablespace.
29
30       Invoke innochecksum like this:
31
32           shell> innochecksum [options] file_name
33
34       innochecksum supports the following options. For options that refer to
35       page numbers, the numbers are zero-based.
