thin_repair(8) System Manager's Manual thin_repair(8) 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 re- spective 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. --transaction-id {natural} Override the transaction id given in the input xml. --data-block-size {natural} Override the data block size given in the input xml. --nr-data-blocks {natural} Override the nr data blocks given in the input xml. EXAMPLE Reads the binary thin provisioning metadata from file metadata, repairs it and writes it to logical volume /dev/vg/metadata for further pro- cessing 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.
