NAME


       debugreiserfs - The debugging tool for the ReiserFS filesystem.

 

SYNOPSIS


       debugreiserfs [ -dDJmoqpuSV ] [ -j device ] [ -B file ] [ -1 N ]

       device

 

DESCRIPTION






       debugreiserfs  sometimes helps to solve problems with reiserfs filesys-
       tems.  When run without options it prints the super block of the  Reis-
       erFS filesystem found on the device.

       device is  the  special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX
              for an IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for a  SCSI  disk  parti-
              tion).

 

OPTIONS


       -j device
              prints  the  contents of the journal. The option -p allows it to
              pack the journal with other metadata into the archive.

       -J     prints the journal header.

       -d     prints the formatted nodes of the internal tree of the  filesys-
              tem.

       -D     prints the formatted nodes of all used blocks of the filesystem.

       -m     prints the contents of the bitmap (slightly useful).

       -o     prints the objectid map (slightly useful).

       -B file
              takes the list of bad blocks stored  in  the  internal  ReiserFS
              tree  and translates it into an ascii list written to the speci-
              fied file.

       -1 blocknumber
              prints the specified block of the filesystem.

       -p     extracts  the  filesystem's  metadata  with   debugreiserfs   -p
              /dev/xxx | gzip -c > xxx.gz. None of your data are packed unless
              a filesystem corruption presents when  the  whole  block  having
              this corruption is packed. You send us the output, and we use it
              to create a filesystem with the same structure  as  yours  using
              debugreiserfs  -u.   When  the  data file is not too large, this
              usually allows us to quickly reproduce and debug the problem.

       -u     builds the ReiserFS filesystem image with  gunzip  -c  xxx.gz  |
              debugreiserfs  -u  /dev/image  of the previously packed metadata
              with debugreiserfs -p. The result image is not the same  as  the
              original  filesystem,  because  mostly only metadata were packed
              with debugreiserfs -p, but  the  filesystem  structure  is  com-
              pletely recreated.

       -S     When -S is not specified -p deals with blocks marked used in the
              filesystem bitmap only. With this option set debugreiserfs  will
              work with the entire device.

       -q     When -p is in use, suppress showing the speed of progress.
