target
xfs_mdrestore

DESCRIPTION
xfs_mdrestore
is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image generated by
xfs_metadump(8)
to a filesystem. The
source
argument specifies the location of the metadump image and the
target
argument specifies the destination for the filesystem image.
If the
source
is -, then the metadata image is read from stdin. This allows the output of
be another program such as a compression application to be redirected to
xfs_mdrestore.
The
target
can be either a file or a device.
xfs_mdrestore
should not be used to restore metadata onto an existing filesystem unless
you are completely certain the
target
can be destroyed.

xfs_mdrestore
returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is successfully restored or
1 if an error occurs.
