NAME

       s3qladm - Manage S3QL file systems

SYNOPSIS

          s3qladm [options] <action> <storage url>

       where action may be either of passphrase, upgrade, delete or download-metadata.

DESCRIPTION

       S3QL is a file system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to consult the
       full documentation (rather than just  the  man  pages  which  only  briefly  document  the
       available userspace commands).

       The  s3qladm  command performs various operations on unmounted S3QL file systems. The file
       system must not be mounted when using s3qladm or things will go wrong badly.

       The storage url depends on the backend that is used.  The  S3QL  User's  Guide  should  be
       consulted for a description of the available backends.

OPTIONS

       The s3qladm command accepts the following options.

          --authfile <path>
                 Read authentication credentials from this file (default: ~/.s3ql/authinfo2)

          --debug-modules <modules>
                 Activate  debugging  output  from  specified  modules  (use  commas  to separate
                 multiple modules). Debug messages will be written to the target specified by the
                 --log option.

          --debug
                 Activate  debugging output from all S3QL modules. Debug messages will be written
                 to the target specified by the --log option.

          --quiet
                 be really quiet

          --log <target>
                 Destination for log messages. Specify none for standard output or syslog for the
                 system  logging  daemon.  Anything  else will be interpreted as a file name. Log
                 files will be rotated when they reach 1 MiB, and at most 5 old log files will be
                 kept. Default: None

          --backend-options <options>
                 Backend  specific  options  (separate  by commas). See backend documentation for
                 available options.

          --cachedir <path>
                 Store cached data in this directory (default: ~/.s3ql)

          --version
                 just print program version and exit

       Hint: run s3qladm <action> --help to  get  help  on  the  additional  arguments  that  the
       different actions take.
