pmempool-check(1)

NAME
pmempool-check - Check and repair Persistent Memory Pool

SYNOPSIS
pmempool check [<options>] <file>

DESCRIPTION
The pmempool invoked with check command checks consistency of a given pool file. If the pool file is consistent pmempool exits with 0 value. If the pool file is not consistent non-zero error code is returned. In case of any errors, the proper message is printed. The verbosity level may be increased using -v option. The output messages may be also suppressed using -q option. It is possible to try to fix encountered problems using -r option. In order to be sure this will not corrupt your data you can either create backup of the pool file using -b option or just print what would be fixed without modifying original pool using -N option.

  Available options:

-r, --repair
    Try to repair a pool file if possible.

-y, --yes
    Answer yes on all questions.

-N, --no-exec
    Don't execute, just show what would be done.

-b, --backup <file>
    Create backup of a pool file before executing. Terminate if it is not possible to create a backup file. This option requires -r option.

-q, --quiet
    Be quiet and don't print any messages.

-v, --verbose
    Be more verbose.

-h, --help
    Display help message and exit.

EXAMPLES

pmempool check pool.bin
    # Check consistency of pool.bin pool file

pmempool check --repair --backup pool.bin.backup pool.bin
    # Check consistency of pool.bin pool file, create backup and repair if necessary.

pmempool check -rvN pool.bin
    # Check consistency of pool.bin pool file, print what would be repaired with increased verbosity level.
