NAME

       xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image

SYNOPSIS

       xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target

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 filsystem 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.

OPTIONS

       -g     Shows restore progress on stdout.

DIAGNOSTICS

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