NAME
thin_repair - repair thin provisioning binary metadata.
SYNOPSIS
thin_repair [options] -i {device|file} -o {device|file}
DESCRIPTION
thin_repair reads binary thin provisioning metadata created by the respective
device-mapper target from one device or file, repairs it and writes it
to different device or file. If written to a metadata device, the metadata
can be processed by the device-mapper target.
This tool cannot be run on live metadata.
OPTIONS
-h, --help Print help and exit.
-V, --version Print version information and exit.
-i, --input {device|file} Input file or device with binary data.
-o, --output {device|file} Output file or device for binary data.
If a file is used for output, then it must be preallocated, and large
enough to hold the metadata.
EXAMPLE
Reads the binary thin provisioning metadata from file metadata, repairs
it and writes it to logical volume /dev/vg/metadata for further processing by
the respective device-mapper target:
$ thin_repair -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata
DIAGNOSTICS
thin_repair returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.
