NAME

       xfs_db - debug an XFS filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       xfs_db [ -c cmd ] ... [ -i|r|x|F ] [ -f ] [ -l logdev ] [ -p progname ] device
       xfs_db -V

DESCRIPTION

       xfs_db  is used to examine an XFS filesystem. Under rare circumstances it can also be used
       to modify an XFS filesystem, but that task is normally left to xfs_repair(8) or to scripts
       such as xfs_admin(8) that run xfs_db.

OPTIONS

       -c cmd xfs_db  commands  may  be  run  interactively  (the default) or as arguments on the
              command line. Multiple -c arguments may be given.  The  commands  are  run  in  the
              sequence given, then the program exits.

       -f     Specifies  that the filesystem image to be processed is stored in a regular file at
              device (see the mkfs.xfs(8) -d file option).  This might happen if an image copy of
              a filesystem has been made into an ordinary file with xfs_copy(8).

       -F     Specifies  that  we  want  to continue even if the superblock magic is not correct.
              For use in xfs_metadump.

       -i     Allows execution on a mounted filesystem, provided it is mounted read-only.  Useful
              for shell scripts which must only operate on filesystems in a guaranteed consistent
              state (either  unmounted  or  mounted  read-only).  These  semantics  are  slightly
              different to that of the -r option.

       -l logdev
              Specifies  the  device  where the filesystems external log resides.  Only for those
              filesystems which use an external log. See the mkfs.xfs(8) -l option, and refer  to
              xfs(5) for a detailed description of the XFS log.

       -p progname
              Set  the  program name to progname for prompts and some error messages, the default
              value is xfs_db.

       -r     Open device or filename read-only. This option is required  if  the  filesystem  is
              mounted.   It  is  only  necessary to omit this flag if a command that changes data
              (write, blocktrash, crc) is to be used.

       -x     Specifies   expert   mode.    This   enables   the    (write,    blocktrash,    crc
              invalidate/revalidate) commands.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.

CONCEPTS

       xfs_db  commands  can  be broken up into two classes. Most commands are for the navigation
       and display of data structures in the filesystem.  Other commands  are  for  scanning  the
       filesystem in some way.

       Commands  which are used to navigate the filesystem structure take arguments which reflect
       the names of filesystem structure fields.  There can be multiple field names separated  by
       dots  when  the underlying structures are nested, as in C.  The field names can be indexed
       (as an array index) if the underlying field  is  an  array.   The  array  indices  can  be
       specified as a range, two numbers separated by a dash.

       xfs_db maintains a current address in the filesystem.  The granularity of the address is a
       filesystem structure.  This can be a filesystem block, an inode or quota (smaller  than  a
       filesystem  block), or a directory block (could be larger than a filesystem block).  There
       are a variety of commands to set the current address.  Associated with the current address
       is  the  current  data  type,  which  is the structural type of this data.  Commands which
       follow the structure of the filesystem always  set  the  type  as  well  as  the  address.
       Commands  which  examine pieces of an individual file (inode) need the current inode to be
       set, this is done with the inode command.

       The current address/type information is  actually  maintained  in  a  stack  that  can  be
       explicitly  manipulated  with  the  push,  pop,  and stack commands.  This allows for easy
       examination of a nested filesystem structure.  Also, the last  several  locations  visited
       are  stored  in  a  ring  buffer which can be manipulated with the forward, back, and ring
       commands.

       XFS filesystems are divided into a small number of allocation groups.  xfs_db maintains  a
       notion  of the current allocation group which is manipulated by some commands. The initial
       allocation group is 0.

COMMANDS

       Many commands have extensive online help. Use the help command for  more  details  on  any
       command.

       a      See the addr command.

       ablock filoff
              Set  current  address  to  the  offset  filoff  (a  filesystem block number) in the
              attribute area of the current inode.

       addr [field-expression]
              Set current address to the value of the field-expression.  This is used to "follow"
              a  reference  in  one  structure to the object being referred to. If no argument is
              given, the current address is printed.

       agf [agno]
              Set current address to the AGF block for allocation group agno.  If no argument  is
              given, use the current allocation group.

       agfl [agno]
              Set current address to the AGFL block for allocation group agno.  If no argument is
              given, use the current allocation group.

       agi [agno]
              Set current address to the AGI block for allocation group agno.  If no argument  is
              given, use the current allocation group.

       agresv [agno]
              Displays  the  length,  free  block  count,  per-AG  reservation  size,  and per-AG
              reservation usage for a given AG.  If no argument is given, display information for
              all AGs.

       attr_remove [-r|-u|-s] [-n] name
              Remove the specified extended attribute from the current file.

                 -r  Sets  the attribute in the root namespace.  Only one namespace option can be
                     specified.

                 -u  Sets the attribute in the user namespace.  Only one namespace option can  be
                     specified.

                 -s  Sets  the  attribute in the secure namespace.  Only one namespace option can
                     be specified.

                 -n  Do not enable 'noattr2' mode on V4 filesystems.

       attr_set [-r|-u|-s] [-n] [-R|-C] [-v namelen] name
              Sets an extended attribute on the current file with the given name.

                 -r  Sets the attribute in the root namespace.  Only one namespace option can  be
                     specified.

                 -u  Sets  the attribute in the user namespace.  Only one namespace option can be
                     specified.

                 -s  Sets the attribute in the secure namespace.  Only one namespace  option  can
                     be specified.

                 -n  Do not enable 'noattr2' mode on V4 filesystems.

                 -R  Replace  the  attribute.   The  command  will fail if the attribute does not
                     already exist.

                 -C  Create the attribute.  The  command  will  fail  if  the  attribute  already
                     exists.

                 -v  Set  the  attribute  value  to a string of this length containing the letter
                     'v'.

       b      See the back command.

       back   Move to the previous location in the position ring.

       blockfree
              Free block usage information collected  by  the  last  execution  of  the  blockget
              command. This must be done before another blockget command can be given, presumably
              with different arguments than the previous one.

       blockget [-npvs] [-b bno] ... [-i ino] ...
              Get block usage and check filesystem consistency.  The information is saved for use
              by a subsequent blockuse, ncheck, or blocktrash command.

                 -b  is  used to specify filesystem block numbers about which verbose information
                     should be printed.

                 -i  is used to specify inode numbers about which verbose information  should  be
                     printed.

                 -n  is  used  to  save pathnames for inodes visited, this is used to support the
                     xfs_ncheck(8) command. It also means that  pathnames  will  be  printed  for
                     inodes  that  have  problems.  This  option  uses  a lot of memory so is not
                     enabled by default.

                 -p  causes error  messages  to  be  prefixed  with  the  filesystem  name  being
                     processed. This is useful if several copies of xfs_db are run in parallel.

                 -s  restricts  output to severe errors only. This is useful if the output is too
                     long otherwise.

                 -v  enables verbose output. Messages will be printed for every block  and  inode
                     processed.

       blocktrash  [-z]  [-o  offset] [-n count] [-x min] [-y max] [-s seed] [-0|1|2|3] [-t type]
       ...
              Trash randomly selected filesystem metadata blocks.  Trashing  occurs  to  randomly
              selected  bits  in  the chosen blocks.  This command is available only in debugging
              versions of xfs_db.  It is useful for testing xfs_repair(8).

                 -0 | -1 | -2 | -3
                     These are used to set the operating mode for blocktrash.  Only  one  can  be
                     used:  -0 changed bits are cleared; -1 changed bits are set; -2 changed bits
                     are inverted; -3 changed bits are randomized.

                 -n  supplies the count of block-trashings to perform (default 1).

                 -o  supplies the bit offset at which to start trashing the block.  If the  value
                     is  preceded  by  a '+', the trashing will start at a randomly chosen offset
                     that is larger than the value supplied.  The default is to  randomly  choose
                     an offset anywhere in the block.

                 -s  supplies a seed to the random processing.

                 -t  gives  a type of blocks to be selected for trashing. Multiple -t options may
                     be given. If no -t options are given then all metadata types can be trashed.

                 -x  sets the minimum size of bit range to be trashed. The default value is 1.

                 -y  sets the maximum size of bit range to be trashed. The default value is 1024.

                 -z  trashes the block at the top of the stack.   It  is  not  necessary  to  run
                     blockget if this option is supplied.

       blockuse [-n] [-c count]
              Print usage for current filesystem block(s).  For each block, the type and (if any)
              inode are printed.

                 -c  specifies a count of blocks to process. The default value is 1 (the  current
                     block only).

                 -n  specifies that file names should be printed. The prior blockget command must
                     have also specified the -n option.

       bmap [-a] [-d] [block [len]]
              Show the block map for the current inode.  The map display can be restricted to  an
              area  of  the  file  with the block and len arguments. If block is given and len is
              omitted then 1 is assumed for len.

              The -a and -d options are used to select the attribute or data area of  the  inode,
              if neither option is given then both areas are shown.

       btdump [-a] [-i]
              If  the cursor points to a btree node, dump the btree from that block downward.  If
              instead the cursor points to an inode, dump the data fork block  mapping  btree  if
              there  is  one.   If  the  cursor points to a directory or extended attribute btree
              node, dump that.  By default, only records stored in the btree are dumped.

                 -a  If the cursor points at an inode, dump the extended attribute block  mapping
                     btree, if present.

                 -i  Dump  all  keys and pointers in intermediate btree nodes, and all records in
                     leaf btree nodes.

       btheight [-b blksz] [-n recs] [-w max|min|absmax] btree types...
              For a given number of btree records and a btree type, report the number of  records
              and  blocks for each level of the btree, and the total number of blocks.  The btree
              type must be given after the options.

              A    raw    btree    geometry     can     be     provided     in     the     format
              "record_bytes:key_bytes:ptr_bytes:header_type",   where   header_type   is  one  of
              "short", "long", "shortcrc", or "longcrc".

              The supported btree types are: bnobt, cntbt, inobt, finobt, bmapbt, refcountbt, and
              rmapbt.  The magic value all can be used to walk through all btree types.

              Options are as follows:

                 -b  is  used  to  override  the btree block size.  The default is the filesystem
                     block size.

                 -n  is used to specify the  number  of  records  to  store.   This  argument  is
                     required.

                 -w absmax
                     shows the maximum possible height for the given btree types.

                 -w max
                     shows  only  the  best  case  scenario,  which  is when the btree blocks are
                     maximally loaded.

                 -w min
                     shows only the worst case scenario, which is when the btree blocks are  half
                     full.

       check  See the blockget command.

       convert type number [type number] ... type
              Convert  from  one address form to another.  The known types, with alternate names,
              are:
                 agblock or agbno (filesystem block within an allocation group)
                 agino or aginode (inode number within an allocation group)
                 agnumber or agno (allocation group number)
                 bboff or daddroff (byte offset in a daddr)
                 blkoff or fsboff or agboff (byte offset in a agblock or fsblock)
                 byte or fsbyte (byte address in filesystem)
                 daddr or bb (disk address, 512-byte blocks)
                 fsblock or fsb or fsbno (filesystem block, see the fsblock command)
                 ino or inode (inode number)
                 inoidx or offset (index of inode in filesystem block)
                 inooff or inodeoff (byte offset in inode)

              Only conversions that "make sense" are allowed.  The compound form (with more  than
              three  arguments)  is  useful  for  conversions  such  as convert agno ag agbno agb
              fsblock.

       crc [-i|-r|-v]
              Invalidates, revalidates, or validates the CRC  (checksum)  field  of  the  current
              structure,  if  it  has  one.   This  command  is  available  only  on  CRC-enabled
              filesystems.  With no argument, validation is performed.  Each command will display
              the resulting CRC value and state.

                 -i  Invalidate  the structure's CRC value (incrementing it by one), and write it
                     to disk.

                 -r  Recalculate the current structure's correct CRC value, and write it to disk.

                 -v  Validate and display the current value and state of the structure's CRC.

       daddr [d]
              Set current address to the daddr (512 byte block) given by d.  If no value for d is
              given,  the  current  address is printed, expressed as a daddr.  The type is set to
              data (uninterpreted).

       dblock filoff
              Set current address to the offset filoff (a filesystem block number)  in  the  data
              area of the current inode.

       debug [flagbits]
              Set  debug  option bits. These are used for debugging xfs_db.  If no value is given
              for flagbits, print the current debug option bits. These are for  the  use  of  the
              implementor.

       dquot [-g|-p|-u] id
              Set  current  address  to  a  group,  project or user quota block for the given ID.
              Defaults to user quota.

       echo [arg] ...
              Echo the arguments to the output.

       f      See the forward command.

       forward
              Move forward to the next entry in the position ring.

       frag [-adflqRrv]
              Get file fragmentation data. This prints information about  fragmentation  of  file
              data in the filesystem (as opposed to fragmentation of freespace, for which see the
              freesp command). Every file in the filesystem is examined to see how far from ideal
              its extent mappings are. A summary is printed giving the totals.

                 -v  sets  verbosity,  every inode has information printed for it.  The remaining
                     options select which inodes and extents are examined.   If  no  options  are
                     given then all are assumed set, otherwise just those given are enabled.

                 -a  enables processing of attribute data.

                 -d  enables processing of directory data.

                 -f  enables processing of regular file data.

                 -l  enables processing of symbolic link data.

                 -q  enables processing of quota file data.

                 -R  enables processing of realtime control file data.

                 -r  enables processing of realtime file data.

       freesp [-bcds] [-A alignment] [-a ag] ... [-e i] [-h h1] ... [-m m]
              Summarize free space for the filesystem. The free blocks are examined and totalled,
              and displayed in the form of a histogram, with a count of extents in each range  of
              free extent sizes.

                 -A  reports only free extents with starting blocks aligned to alignment blocks.

                 -a  adds  ag  to the list of allocation groups to be processed. If no -a options
                     are given then all allocation groups are processed.

                 -b  specifies that the histogram buckets are  binary-sized,  with  the  starting
                     sizes being the powers of 2.

                 -c  specifies  that  freesp will search the by-size (cnt) space Btree instead of
                     the default by-block (bno) space Btree.

                 -d  specifies that every free extent will be displayed.

                 -e  specifies  that  the  histogram  buckets  are  equal-sized,  with  the  size
                     specified as i.

                 -h  specifies  a  starting  block number for a histogram bucket as h1.  Multiple
                     -h's are given to specify the complete set of buckets.

                 -m  specifies that the histogram starting block numbers are powers of  m.   This
                     is the general case of -b.

                 -s  specifies  that  a final summary of total free extents, free blocks, and the
                     average free extent size is printed.

       fsb    See the fsblock command.

       fsblock [fsb]
              Set current address to the fsblock value given by fsb.  If  no  value  for  fsb  is
              given the current address is printed, expressed as an fsb.  The type is set to data
              (uninterpreted). XFS filesystem block numbers are computed  ((agno  <<  agshift)  |
              agblock)  where agshift depends on the size of an allocation group. Use the convert
              command to convert to and from this form. Block numbers given for file blocks  (for
              instance from the bmap command) are in this form.

       fsmap [ start ] [ end ]
              Prints  the  mapping  of disk blocks used by an XFS filesystem.  The map lists each
              extent used by files, allocation  group  metadata,  journalling  logs,  and  static
              filesystem  metadata, as well as any regions that are unused.  All blocks, offsets,
              and lengths are  specified  in  units  of  512-byte  blocks,  no  matter  what  the
              filesystem's  block  size  is.  The optional start and end arguments can be used to
              constrain the output to a particular range of disk blocks.

       fuzz [-c] [-d] field action
              Write garbage into a specific structure field on disk.  Expert mode must be enabled
              to use this command.  The operation happens immediately; there is no buffering.

              The fuzz command can take the following actions against a field:

                 zeroes
                     Clears all bits in the field.

                 ones
                     Sets all bits in the field.

                 firstbit
                     Flips  the  first bit in the field.  For a scalar value, this is the highest
                     bit.

                 middlebit
                     Flips the middle bit in the field.

                 lastbit
                     Flips the last bit in the field.  For a scalar value,  this  is  the  lowest
                     bit.

                 add Adds a small value to a scalar field.

                 sub Subtracts a small value from a scalar field.

                 random
                     Randomizes the contents of the field.

              The following switches affect the write behavior:

                 -c  Skip  write  verifiers  and  CRC  recalculation;  allows  invalid data to be
                     written to disk.

                 -d  Skip write verifiers but perform CRC recalculation; allows invalid  data  to
                     be written to disk to test detection of invalid data.

       hash string
              Prints  the  hash  value of string using the hash function of the XFS directory and
              attribute implementation.

       help [command]
              Print help for one or all commands.

       info   Displays selected geometry information about the filesystem.  The output will  have
              the  same  format that mkfs.xfs(8) prints when creating a filesystem or xfs_info(8)
              prints when querying a filesystem.

       inode [inode#]
              Set the current inode number. If no  inode#  is  given,  print  the  current  inode
              number.

       label [label]
              Set  the  filesystem label. The filesystem label can be used by mount(8) instead of
              using a device special file.  The maximum length of an XFS label is 12 characters -
              use of a longer label will result in truncation and a warning will be issued. If no
              label is given, the current filesystem label is printed.

       log [stop | start filename]
              Start logging output to filename,  stop  logging,  or  print  the  current  logging
              status.

       logformat [-c cycle] [-s sunit]
              Reformats  the  log  to  the specified log cycle and log stripe unit.  This has the
              effect of clearing the log destructively.  If the log cycle is not  specified,  the
              log  is reformatted to the current cycle.  If the log stripe unit is not specified,
              the stripe unit from the filesystem superblock is used.

       logres Print transaction reservation size information for  each  transaction  type.   This
              makes  it  easier  to  find  discrepancies  in the reservation calculations between
              xfsprogs and  the  kernel,  which  will  help  when  diagnosing  minimum  log  size
              calculation errors.

       ls [-i] [paths]...
              List the contents of a directory.  If a path resolves to a directory, the directory
              will be listed.  If no paths are supplied and the IO cursor points at  a  directory
              inode, the contents of that directory will be listed.

              The output format is: directory cookie, inode number, file type, hash, name length,
              name.

                 -i  Resolve each of the given paths to an inode number and  print  that  number.
                     If  no paths are given and the IO cursor points to an inode, print the inode
                     number.

       metadump [-egow] filename
              Dumps metadata to a file. See xfs_metadump(8) for more information.

       ncheck [-s] [-i ino] ...
              Print name-inode pairs. A blockget -n command must  be  run  first  to  gather  the
              information.

                 -i  specifies an inode number to be printed. If no -i options are given then all
                     inodes are printed.

                 -s  specifies that only setuid and setgid files are printed.

       p      See the print command.

       path dir_path
              Walk the directory tree to an inode using the supplied path.  Absolute and relative
              paths are supported.

       pop    Pop location from the stack.

       print [field-expression] ...
              Print  field  values.   If  no  argument  is given, print all fields in the current
              structure.

       push [command]
              Push location to the stack. If command is supplied, set the current location to the
              results of command after pushing the old location.

       q      See the quit command.

       quit   Exit xfs_db.

       ring [index]
              Show  position ring (if no index argument is given), or move to a specific entry in
              the position ring given by index.

       sb [agno]
              Set current address to SB header in allocation group agno.  If no  agno  is  given,
              use the current allocation group number.

       source source-file
              Process commands from source-file.  source commands can be nested.

       stack  View the location stack.

       type [type]
              Set  the current data type to type.  If no argument is given, show the current data
              type.  The possible data types are: agf, agfl, agi, attr, bmapbta, bmapbtd,  bnobt,
              cntbt,  data,  dir,  dir2,  dqblk,  inobt,  inode, log, refcntbt, rmapbt, rtbitmap,
              rtsummary, sb, symlink and text.  See the TYPES section below for more  information
              on these data types.

       timelimit [OPTIONS]
              Print  the  minimum  and  maximum  supported  values  for  inode  timestamps, quota
              expiration timers, and quota grace periods supported by this  filesystem.   Options
              include:

                 --bigtime
                     Print the time limits of an XFS filesystem with the bigtime feature enabled.

                 --classic
                     Print the time limits of a classic XFS filesystem.

                 --compact
                     Print all limits as raw values on a single line.

                 --pretty
                     Print the timestamps in the current locale's date and time format instead of
                     raw seconds since the Unix epoch.

       uuid [uuid | generate | rewrite | restore]
              Set the filesystem universally unique identifier (UUID).  The filesystem  UUID  can
              be  used  by  mount(8) instead of using a device special file.  The uuid can be set
              directly to the desired UUID, or  it  can  be  automatically  generated  using  the
              generate  option.  These  options  will  both write the UUID into every copy of the
              superblock in the filesystem.  On  a  CRC-enabled  filesystem,  this  will  set  an
              incompatible  superblock  flag, and the filesystem will not be mountable with older
              kernels.  This can be reverted  with  the  restore  option,  which  will  copy  the
              original  UUID  back into place and clear the incompatible flag as needed.  rewrite
              copies the current UUID from the primary superblock to all secondary copies of  the
              superblock.  If no argument is given, the current filesystem UUID is printed.

       version [feature | versionnum features2]
              Enable  selected  features  for a filesystem (certain features can be enabled on an
              unmounted filesystem, after mkfs.xfs(8) has created the filesystem).   Support  for
              unwritten extents can be enabled using the extflg option. Support for version 2 log
              format can be enabled using the log2 option. Support for extended attributes can be
              enabled  using  the attr1 or attr2 option. Once enabled, extended attributes cannot
              be disabled, but the user may toggle between attr1 and attr2 at will (older kernels
              may not support the newer version).

              If  no  argument  is given, the current version and feature bits are printed.  With
              one argument, this command will write the updated version number into every copy of
              the superblock in the filesystem.  If two arguments are given, they will be used as
              numeric values for the versionnum and features2 bits respectively, and their string
              equivalent reported (but no modifications are made).

       write [-c|-d] [field value] ...
              Write  a value to disk.  Specific fields can be set in structures (struct mode), or
              a block can be set to data values (data mode), or a block  can  be  set  to  string
              values (string mode, for symlink blocks).  The operation happens immediately: there
              is no buffering.

              Struct mode is in effect when the current type is structural, i.e.  not  data.  For
              struct mode, the syntax is "write field value".

              Data  mode is in effect when the current type is data. In this case the contents of
              the block can be shifted or rotated left or right, or filled  with  a  sequence,  a
              constant  value, or a random value. In this mode write with no arguments gives more
              information on the allowed commands.

                 -c  Skip write verifiers and  CRC  recalculation;  allows  invalid  data  to  be
                     written to disk.

                 -d  Skip  write  verifiers  but  perform CRC recalculation.  This allows invalid
                     data to be written to disk to test detection of invalid data.  (This is  not
                     possible for some types.)

TYPES

       This  section  gives the fields in each structure type and their meanings.  Note that some
       types of block cover multiple actual structures, for instance directory blocks.

       agf       The AGF block is the header for block  allocation  information;  it  is  in  the
                 second  512-byte  block  of  each  allocation  group.   The following fields are
                 defined:
                     magicnum    AGF block magic number, 0x58414746 ('XAGF').
                     versionnum  version number, currently 1.
                     seqno       sequence number starting from 0.
                     length      size  in  filesystem  blocks  of  the  allocation   group.   All
                                 allocation groups except the last one of the filesystem have the
                                 superblock's agblocks value here.
                     bnoroot     block number of  the  root  of  the  Btree  holding  free  space
                                 information sorted by block number.
                     cntroot     block  number  of  the  root  of  the  Btree  holding free space
                                 information sorted by block count.
                     bnolevel    number of levels in the by-block-number Btree.
                     cntlevel    number of levels in the by-block-count Btree.
                     flfirst     index into the AGFL block of the first active entry.
                     fllast      index into the AGFL block of the last active entry.
                     flcount     count of active entries in the AGFL block.
                     freeblks    count of blocks represented in the freespace Btrees.
                     longest     longest free space represented in the freespace Btrees.
                     btreeblks   number of blocks held in the AGF Btrees.

       agfl      The AGFL block contains block numbers for use of the block allocator; it  is  in
                 the  fourth  512-byte  block of each allocation group.  Each entry in the active
                 list is a block number within the allocation group that  can  be  used  for  any
                 purpose  if  space  runs low.  The AGF block fields flfirst, fllast, and flcount
                 designate which entries are currently active.  Entry space  is  allocated  in  a
                 circular manner within the AGFL block.  Fields defined:
                     bno         array  of all block numbers. Even those which are not active are
                                 printed.

       agi       The AGI block is the header for inode allocation information; it is in the third
                 512-byte block of each allocation group.  Fields defined:
                     magicnum    AGI block magic number, 0x58414749 ('XAGI').
                     versionnum  version number, currently 1.
                     seqno       sequence number starting from 0.
                     length      size in filesystem blocks of the allocation group.
                     count       count of inodes allocated.
                     root        block  number  of the root of the Btree holding inode allocation
                                 information.
                     level       number of levels in the inode allocation Btree.
                     freecount   count of allocated inodes that are not in use.
                     newino      last inode number allocated.
                     dirino      unused.
                     unlinked    an array of inode  numbers  within  the  allocation  group.  The
                                 entries  in  the  AGI  block  are  the  heads of lists which run
                                 through the inode next_unlinked field. These inodes  are  to  be
                                 unlinked the next time the filesystem is mounted.

       attr      An  attribute  fork is organized as a Btree with the actual data embedded in the
                 leaf blocks. The root of the Btree is found in block 0 of the fork.   The  index
                 (sort  order)  of  the  Btree  is the hash value of the attribute name.  All the
                 blocks contain a blkinfo  structure  at  the  beginning,  see  type  dir  for  a
                 description.  Nonleaf  blocks are identical in format to those for version 1 and
                 version 2 directories, see type dir for a description. Leaf blocks can refer  to
                 "local"  or  "remote"  attribute values. Local values are stored directly in the
                 leaf block.  Leaf blocks contain the following fields:
                     hdr         header  containing  a  blkinfo  structure  info  (magic   number
                                 0xfbee),  a  count  of  active entries, usedbytes total bytes of
                                 names and values, the firstused byte in the name area, holes set
                                 if the block needs compaction, and array freemap as for dir leaf
                                 blocks.
                     entries     array of structures containing a hashval,  nameidx  (index  into
                                 the block of the name), and flags incomplete, root, and local.
                     nvlist      array  of  structures describing the attribute names and values.
                                 Fields always present: valuelen  (length  of  value  in  bytes),
                                 namelen,  and  name.   Fields  present  for  local values: value
                                 (value string). Fields present for remote values: valueblk (fork
                                 block number of containing the value).

                 Remote  values  are stored in an independent block in the attribute fork.  Prior
                 to v5, value blocks had no structure, but in v5 they acquired a header structure
                 with the following fields:
                     magic       attr3 remote block magic number, 0x5841524d ('XARM').
                     offset      Byte  offset  of  this  data  block within the overall attribute
                                 value.
                     bytes       Number of bytes stored in this block.
                     crc         Checksum of the attribute block contents.
                     uuid        Filesystem UUID.
                     owner       Inode that owns this attribute value.
                     bno         Block offset of this block within the inode's attribute fork.
                     lsn         Log serial number of the last time this block was logged.
                     data        The attribute value data.

       bmapbt    Files with many extents in their data or attribute fork will  have  the  extents
                 described  by  the  contents  of  a Btree for that fork, instead of being stored
                 directly in the inode.  Each bmap Btree  starts  with  a  root  block  contained
                 within  the  inode.   The  other  levels  of  the Btree are stored in filesystem
                 blocks.  The blocks are linked to sibling left and right blocks at  each  level,
                 as  well  as  by  pointers from parent to child blocks.  Each block contains the
                 following fields:
                     magic       bmap Btree block magic number, 0x424d4150 ('BMAP').

                     recs        [leaf  blocks  only]  array  of  extent  records.   Each  record
                                 contains  startoff, startblock, blockcount, and extentflag (1 if
                                 the extent is unwritten).
                     keys        [non-leaf blocks only] array of key records. These are the first
                                 key value of each block in the level below this one. Each record
                                 contains startoff.
                     ptrs        [non-leaf blocks only] array  of  child  block  pointers.   Each
                                 pointer  is  a  filesystem block number to the next level in the
                                 Btree.

       bnobt     There is one set of filesystem blocks  forming  the  by-block-number  allocation
                 Btree  for  each allocation group. The root block of this Btree is designated by
                 the bnoroot field in the corresponding AGF block.   The  blocks  are  linked  to
                 sibling  left and right blocks at each level, as well as by pointers from parent
                 to child blocks.  Each block has the following fields:
                     magic       BNOBT block magic number, 0x41425442 ('ABTB').

                     recs        [leaf blocks only]  array  of  freespace  records.  Each  record
                                 contains startblock and blockcount.
                     keys        [non-leaf blocks only] array of key records. These are the first
                                 value of each block in the level below  this  one.  Each  record
                                 contains startblock and blockcount.
                     ptrs        [non-leaf  blocks  only]  array  of  child  block pointers. Each
                                 pointer is a block number within the  allocation  group  to  the
                                 next level in the Btree.

       cntbt     There  is  one  set  of  filesystem blocks forming the by-block-count allocation
                 Btree for each allocation group. The root block of this Btree is  designated  by
                 the  cntroot  field  in  the  corresponding  AGF block. The blocks are linked to
                 sibling left and right blocks at each level, as well as by pointers from  parent
                 to child blocks. Each block has the following fields:
                     magic       CNTBT block magic number, 0x41425443 ('ABTC').
                     level       level number of this block, 0 is a leaf.

                                 contains startblock and blockcount.
                     keys        [non-leaf blocks only] array of key records. These are the first
                                 value  of  each  block  in the level below this one. Each record
                                 contains blockcount and startblock.
                     ptrs        [non-leaf blocks only]  array  of  child  block  pointers.  Each
                                 pointer  is  a  block  number within the allocation group to the
                                 next level in the Btree.

       data      User file blocks, and other blocks whose type is unknown,  have  this  type  for
                 display purposes in xfs_db.  The block data is displayed in hexadecimal format.

       dir       A  version  1 directory is organized as a Btree with the directory data embedded
                 in the leaf blocks. The root of the Btree is found in block 0 of the  file.  The
                 index  (sort  order)  of  the Btree is the hash value of the entry name. All the
                 blocks contain a blkinfo structure at the beginning with the following fields:
                     forw        next sibling block.
                     back        previous sibling block.
                     magic       magic number for this block type.
                 The non-leaf (node) blocks have the following fields:
                     hdr         header  containing  a  blkinfo  structure  info  (magic   number
                                 0xfebe),  the  count  of  active  entries, and the level of this
                                 block above the leaves.
                     btree       array of entries  containing  hashval  and  before  fields.  The
                                 before  value is a block number within the directory file to the
                                 child block, the hashval is the last hash value in that block.
                 The leaf blocks have the following fields:
                     hdr         header  containing  a  blkinfo  structure  info  (magic   number
                                 0xfeeb),  the  count  of  active  entries, namebytes (total name
                                 string bytes), holes flag (block needs compaction), and  freemap
                                 (array of base, size entries for free regions).
                     entries     array of structures containing hashval, nameidx (byte index into
                                 the block of the name string), and namelen.
                     namelist    array of structures containing inumber and name.

       dir2      A version 2 directory has four kinds of blocks.  Data blocks start at  offset  0
                 in  the file.  There are two kinds of data blocks: single-block directories have
                 the leaf information embedded at the end of the block,  data  blocks  in  multi-
                 block  directories  do  not.   Node  and leaf blocks start at offset 32GiB (with
                 either a single leaf block or the root node block).  Freespace blocks  start  at
                 offset  64GiB.   The  node  and leaf blocks form a Btree, with references to the
                 data in the data blocks.  The freespace blocks form an  index  of  longest  free
                 spaces within the data blocks.

                 A single-block directory block contains the following fields:
                     bhdr        header  containing magic number 0x58443242 ('XD2B') and an array
                                 bestfree of the longest 3 free  spaces  in  the  block  (offset,
                                 length).
                     bu          array  of union structures. Each element is either an entry or a
                                 freespace.   For  entries,  there  are  the  following   fields:
                                 inumber,  namelen,  name, and tag.  For freespace, there are the
                                 following fields: freetag (0xffff), length, and  tag.   The  tag
                                 value  is the byte offset in the block of the start of the entry
                                 it is contained in.
                     bleaf       array of leaf  entries  containing  hashval  and  address.   The
                                 address is a 64-bit word offset into the file.
                     btail       tail  structure  containing  the total count of leaf entries and
                                 stale count of unused leaf entries.
                 A data block contains the following fields:
                     dhdr        header containing magic number 0x58443244 ('XD2D') and an  array
                                 bestfree  of  the  longest  3  free spaces in the block (offset,
                                 length).
                     du          array of union structures as for bu.
                 Leaf blocks have two possible forms. If the Btree consists of a single leaf then
                 the  freespace  information  is  in  the leaf block, otherwise it is in separate
                 blocks and the root of the Btree is a node block.  A  leaf  block  contains  the
                 following fields:
                     lhdr        header  containing a blkinfo structure info (magic number 0xd2f1
                                 for the single leaf case, 0xd2ff for the true Btree  case),  the
                                 total  count  of  leaf  entries,  and stale count of unused leaf
                                 entries.
                     lents       leaf entries, as for bleaf.
                     lbests      [single leaf only] array of values which represent  the  longest
                                 freespace in each data block in the directory.
                     ltail       [single  leaf only] tail structure containing bestcount count of
                                 lbests.
                 A node block is identical to that for types attr and dir.

                 A freespace block contains the following fields:
                     fhdr        header containing  magic  number  0x58443246  ('XD2F'),  firstdb
                                 first  data block number covered by this freespace block, nvalid
                                 number  of  valid  entries,  and   nused   number   of   entries
                                 representing real data blocks.
                     fbests      array of values as for lbests.

       dqblk     The  quota information is stored in files referred to by the superblock uquotino
                 and pquotino fields. Each filesystem block in a quota file contains  a  constant
                 number  of quota entries. The quota entry size is currently 136 bytes, so with a
                 4KiB filesystem block size there are 30  quota  entries  per  block.  The  dquot
                 command is used to locate these entries in the filesystem.  The file entries are
                 indexed by the user or project identifier to determine  the  block  and  offset.
                 Each quota entry has the following fields:
                     magic          magic number, 0x4451 ('DQ').
                     version        version number, currently 1.
                     flags          flags,  values  include 0x01 for user quota, 0x02 for project
                                    quota.

                     ino_softlimit  preferred limit on inodes in use.
                     bcount         blocks actually in use.
                     icount         inodes actually in use.
                     itimer         time when service will be refused if soft limit  is  violated
                                    for inodes.
                     btimer         time  when  service will be refused if soft limit is violated
                                    for blocks.
                     iwarns         number of warnings issued about inode limit violations.
                     bwarns         number of warnings issued about block limit violations.
                     rtb_hardlimit  absolute limit on realtime blocks in use.

                     rtbtimer       time when service will be refused if soft limit  is  violated
                                    for realtime blocks.
                     rtbwarns       number   of   warnings  issued  about  realtime  block  limit
                                    violations.

       inobt     There is one set of filesystem blocks forming the  inode  allocation  Btree  for
                 each  allocation  group.  The root block of this Btree is designated by the root
                 field in the corresponding AGI block.  The blocks are linked to sibling left and
                 right  blocks at each level, as well as by pointers from parent to child blocks.
                 Each block has the following fields:
                     magic       INOBT block magic number, 0x49414254 ('IABT').
                     level       level number of this block, 0 is a leaf.
                     numrecs     number of data entries in the block.
                     leftsib     left (logically lower) sibling block, 0 if none.
                     rightsib    right (logically higher) sibling block, 0 if none.
                     recs        [leaf blocks only] array of inode records. Each record  contains
                                 startino allocation-group relative inode number, freecount count
                                 of free inodes in this chunk, and free bitmap,  LSB  corresponds
                                 to inode 0.
                     keys        [non-leaf blocks only] array of key records. These are the first
                                 value of each block in the level below  this  one.  Each  record
                                 contains startino.
                     ptrs        [non-leaf  blocks  only]  array  of  child  block pointers. Each
                                 pointer is a block number within the  allocation  group  to  the
                                 next level in the Btree.

       inode     Inodes  are allocated in "chunks" of 64 inodes each. Usually a chunk is multiple
                 filesystem blocks, although there are cases with large filesystem blocks where a
                 chunk  is  less  than one block. The inode Btree (see inobt above) refers to the
                 inode numbers per allocation group.  The  inode  numbers  directly  reflect  the
                 location  of the inode block on disk. Use the inode command to point xfs_db to a
                 specific inode. Each inode contains four regions: core, next_unlinked, u, and a.
                 core  contains  the fixed information.  next_unlinked is separated from the core
                 due to journaling considerations, see type agi field unlinked.   u  is  a  union
                 structure  that  is  different  in  size  and  format  depending on the type and
                 representation of the file data ("data fork").  a is an optional union structure
                 to  describe  attribute  data,  that  is different in size, format, and location
                 depending on the presence and representation of attribute data, and the size  of
                 the  u  data  ("attribute fork").  xfs_db automatically selects the proper union
                 members based on information in the inode.

                 The following are fields in the inode core:
                     magic       inode magic number, 0x494e ('IN').
                     mode        mode and type of file, as described in chmod(2),  mknod(2),  and
                                 stat(2).
                     version     inode version, 1 or 2.
                     format      format  of  u union data (0: xfs_dev_t, 1: local file - in-inode
                                 directory or symlink, 2: extent list, 3: Btree root,  4:  unique
                                 id [unused]).
                     nlinkv1     number of links to the file in a version 1 inode.

                                 value.

       log       Log blocks contain the journal entries for XFS.   It's  not  useful  to  examine
                 these with xfs_db, use xfs_logprint(8) instead.

       refcntbt  There is one set of filesystem blocks forming the reference count Btree for each
                 allocation group. The root block of this Btree is designated by  the  refcntroot
                 field in the corresponding AGF block.  The blocks are linked to sibling left and
                 right blocks at each level, as well as by pointers from parent to child  blocks.
                 Each block has the following fields:
                     magic       REFC block magic number, 0x52334643 ('R3FC').
                     level       level number of this block, 0 is a leaf.
                     numrecs     number of data entries in the block.
                     leftsib     left (logically lower) sibling block, 0 if none.
                     rightsib    right (logically higher) sibling block, 0 if none.
                     recs        [leaf blocks only] array of reference count records. Each record
                                 contains startblock, blockcount, and refcount.
                     keys        [non-leaf blocks only] array of key records. These are the first
                                 value  of  each  block  in the level below this one. Each record
                                 contains startblock.
                     ptrs        [non-leaf blocks only]  array  of  child  block  pointers.  Each
                                 pointer  is  a  block  number within the allocation group to the
                                 next level in the Btree.

       rmapbt    There is one set of filesystem blocks forming the reverse mapping Btree for each
                 allocation  group.  The  root  block of this Btree is designated by the rmaproot
                 field in the corresponding AGF block.  The blocks are linked to sibling left and
                 right  blocks at each level, as well as by pointers from parent to child blocks.
                 Each block has the following fields:
                     magic       RMAP block magic number, 0x524d4233 ('RMB3').
                     level       level number of this block, 0 is a leaf.
                     numrecs     number of data entries in the block.
                     leftsib     left (logically lower) sibling block, 0 if none.
                     rightsib    right (logically higher) sibling block, 0 if none.
                     recs        [leaf blocks only] array of reference count records. Each record
                                 contains   startblock,  blockcount,  owner,  offset,  attr_fork,
                                 bmbt_block, and unwritten.
                     keys        [non-leaf blocks only] array of double-key  records.  The  first
                                 ("low")  key contains the first value of each block in the level
                                 below this one. The second ("high") key contains the largest key
                                 that  can  be  used  to identify any record in the subtree. Each
                                 record  contains  startblock,  owner,  offset,  attr_fork,   and
                                 bmbt_block.
                     ptrs        [non-leaf  blocks  only]  array  of  child  block pointers. Each
                                 pointer is a block number within the  allocation  group  to  the
                                 next level in the Btree.

       rtbitmap  If  the  filesystem  has  a  realtime  subvolume,  then  the rbmino field in the
                 superblock refers to a file that contains the realtime bitmap.  Each bit in  the
                 bitmap  file  controls the allocation of a single realtime extent (set == free).
                 The bitmap is processed in 32-bit words, the LSB of a word is used for the first
                 extent  controlled  by  that bitmap word. The atime field of the realtime bitmap
                 inode contains a counter that is used to control where  the  next  new  realtime
                 file will start.

       rtsummary If  the  filesystem  has  a  realtime  subvolume,  then the rsumino field in the
                 superblock refers to a file that contains the realtime summary data. The summary
                 file  contains  a two-dimensional array of 16-bit values.  Each value counts the
                 number of free extent runs (consecutive free realtime extents) of a given  range
                 of  sizes  that  starts  in  a  given  bitmap block.  The size ranges are binary
                 buckets (low size in the bucket is a power of 2).  There are as many size ranges
                 as  are necessary given the size of the realtime subvolume.  The first dimension
                 is the size range, the second dimension is  the  starting  bitmap  block  number
                 (adjacent entries are for the same size, adjacent bitmap blocks).

       sb        There  is  one  sb (superblock) structure per allocation group.  It is the first
                 disk block in the allocation  group.   Only  the  first  one  (block  0  of  the
                 filesystem)  is  actually  used;  the other blocks are redundant information for
                 xfs_repair(8) to use if the first superblock is damaged. Fields defined:
                     magicnum    superblock magic number, 0x58465342 ('XFSB').
                     blocksize   filesystem block size in bytes.
                     dblocks     number of filesystem blocks present in the data subvolume.
                     rblocks     number of filesystem blocks present in the realtime subvolume.
                     rextents    number of realtime extents that rblocks contain.
                     uuid        unique identifier of the filesystem.
                     logstart    starting filesystem block number of the log (journal).  If  this
                                 value is 0 the log is "external".
                     rootino     root inode number.
                     rbmino      realtime bitmap inode number.
                     rsumino     realtime summary data inode number.
                     rextsize    realtime extent size in filesystem blocks.
                     agblocks    size of an allocation group in filesystem blocks.
                     agcount     number of allocation groups.
                     rbmblocks   number of realtime bitmap blocks.
                     logblocks   number of log blocks (filesystem blocks).
                     versionnum  filesystem  version  information.  This value is currently 1, 2,
                                 3, or 4 in the low 4 bits.  If the low bits are 4 then the other
                                 bits  have  additional  meanings.   1  is the original value.  2
                                 means that attributes were used.  3 means that version 2  inodes
                                 (large  link counts) were used.  4 is the bitmask version of the
                                 version number.  In this case, the other bits are used as  flags
                                 (0x0010:  attributes  were  used,  0x0020: version 2 inodes were
                                 used, 0x0040: quotas were used, 0x0080: inode cluster  alignment

                                 is on, 0x2000: version 2 directories are in use).
                     sectsize    sector size in bytes, currently always 512.  This is the size of
                                 the superblock and the other header blocks.
                     inodesize   inode size in bytes.

       symlink   Symbolic  link  blocks  are  used only when the symbolic link value does not fit
                 inside the inode. The block content is just the string value.   Bytes  past  the
                 logical end of the symbolic link value have arbitrary values.

       text      User  file  blocks,  and  other blocks whose type is unknown, have this type for
                 display purposes in xfs_db.   The  block  data  is  displayed  in  two  columns:
                 Hexadecimal format and printable ASCII chars.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Many messages can come from the check (blockget) command.  If the filesystem is completely
       corrupt, a core dump might be produced instead of the message
              device is not a valid filesystem

       If the filesystem is very large (has many files) then check might run out  of  memory.  In
       this case the message
              out of memory
       is printed.

       The  following  is  a description of the most likely problems and the associated messages.
       Most of the diagnostics  produced  are  only  meaningful  with  an  understanding  of  the
       structure of the filesystem.

       agf_freeblks n, counted m in ag a
              The  freeblocks count in the allocation group header for allocation group a doesn't
              match the number of blocks counted free.

       agf_longest n, counted m in ag a
              The longest free extent in the allocation  group  header  for  allocation  group  a
              doesn't match the longest free extent found in the allocation group.

       agi_count n, counted m in ag a
              The  allocated  inode  count  in the allocation group header for allocation group a
              doesn't match the number of inodes counted in the allocation group.

       agi_freecount n, counted m in ag a
              The free inode count in the allocation group header for allocation group a  doesn't
              match the number of inodes counted free in the allocation group.

       block a/b expected inum 0 got i
              The  block  number  is  specified  as a pair (allocation group number, block in the
              allocation group).  The block is used multiple  times  (shared),  between  multiple
              inodes.  This message usually follows a message of the next type.

       block a/b expected type unknown got y
              The block is used multiple times (shared).

       block a/b type unknown not expected
