NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

9       xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target
10

DESCRIPTION

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

DIAGNOSTICS

29       fully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
