NAME

       mfsfilerepair - repair broken files

SYNOPSIS

       mfsfilerepair [-n|-h|-H] FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       mfsfilerepair deals with broken files (those which cause I/O errors on read operations) to
       make them partially readable. In case of missing chunk it fills missing parts of file with
       zeros; in case of chunk version mismatch it sets chunk version known to mfsmaster to
       highest one found on chunkservers.

           Note
           Because in the second case content mismatch can occur in chunks with the same version,
           it’s advised to make a copy (not a snapshot!) and delete original file after
           "repairing".

OPTIONS

       -n, -h, -H
           These options are described in mfstools(1).
