[PATCH v2 0/4] xfs_db misc. btree dumping improvements

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

 



Hi all,

Here are a bunch of patches improving various aspects of btree dumping
in xfs_db.  The first few patches fix up numerous crashes that occur
when the user navigates to a btree block with an unknown magic number.
Instead of blowing up, now we can display the (corrupt) contents for
further analysis.

The last patch in this patchset adds a 'btdump' command, which dumps
whatever metadata subtree is rooted at the current iocursor location.
(For inodes it will default to the data for bmbt if there is one.)  This
makes it much easier to display all records of any btree for debugging
or forensic analysis, because the user no longer has to navigate the
btree manually.

Questions?  Comments?
