NAME

       s3ql_verify - Verify data in an S3QL file system

SYNOPSIS

          s3ql_verify [options] <storage url>

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  s3ql_verify  command verifies all data in the file system.  In contrast to fsck.s3ql,
       s3ql_verify does not trust the object  listing  returned  by  the  backend,  but  actually
       attempts to retrieve every object. It therefore takes a lot longer.

       The  format  of  <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 s3ql_verify command accepts the following options.

          --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

          --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

          --version
                 just print program version and exit

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

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

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

          --missing-file <name>
                 File to store keys of missing objects.

          --corrupted-file <name>
                 File to store keys of corrupted objects.

          --data Read every object completely, instead of checking just the metadata.

          --parallel PARALLEL
                 Number of connections to use in parallel.

          --start-with <n>
                 Skip over first <n> objects and with verifying object <n>+1.
