Hi all, We now have all the infrastructure we need to repair file metadata. We'll begin with the realtime summary file, because it is the least complex data structure. To support this we need to add three more pieces to the temporary file code from the previous patchset -- preallocating space in the temp file, formatting metadata into that space and writing the blocks to disk, and swapping the fork mappings atomically. After that, the actual reconstruction of the realtime summary information is pretty simple, since we can simply write the incore copy computed by the rtsummary scrubber to the temporary file, swap the contents, and reap the old blocks. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees, which are linked below. This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy!
