logredo(8)             JFS utility - replay journal log             logredo(8)



NAME
       logredo - "replay" a JFS formatted device's journal log


SYNOPSIS
       logredo device


DESCRIPTION
       logredo  applies all committed transactions recorded in the JFS journal
       log since the most recent synch point.  Its goal is to put the JFS file
       system  in the state it would have been in if all transactions had been
       applied, in order, by the JFS file system itself.

       device is the special file name corresponding to the actual  device  on
       which the journal log will be replayed (e.g.  /dev/hdb1 ).

       logredo must be run as root.


WARNING
       logredo  is  called  from within fsck.jfs, and is not recommended to be
       run as a stand-alone utility unless completely necessary, and  only  by
       advanced  users with a clear understanding of journaling in a file sys-
       tem.
