[PATCH 06/37] debugfs: force logdump to display (old) journal contents

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the user passes -a more than once to logdump, try to dump old log
contents.  This can be used to try to track down journal problems even
after recovery.
