cephfs-journal-tool
===================
Purpose
-------
If a CephFS journal has become damaged, expert intervention may be required
to restore the filesystem to a working state.
The ``cephfs-journal-tool`` utility provides functionality to aid experts in
examining, modifying, and extracting data from journals.
.. warning::
This tool is **dangerous** because it directly modifies internal
data structures of the filesystem. Make backups, be careful, and
seek expert advice. If you are unsure, do not run this tool.
Syntax
------
::
cephfs-journal-tool journal <inspect|import|export|reset>
cephfs-journal-tool header <get|set>
cephfs-journal-tool event <get|splice|apply> [filter] <list|json|summary|binary>
The tool operates in three modes: ``journal``, ``header`` and ``event``,
meaning the whole journal, the header, and the events within the journal
respectively.
Journal mode
------------
This should be your starting point to assess the state of a journal.
* ``inspect`` reports on the health of the journal. This will identify any
missing objects or corruption in the stored journal. Note that this does
not identify inconsistencies in the events themselves, just that events are
present and can be decoded.
* ``import`` and ``export`` read and write binary dumps of the journal
in a sparse file format. Pass the filename as the last argument. The
export operation may not work reliably for journals which are damaged (missing
objects).
* ``reset`` truncates a journal, discarding any information within it.
Example: journal inspect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# cephfs-journal-tool journal inspect
Overall journal integrity: DAMAGED
Objects missing:
0x1
Corrupt regions:
0x400000-ffffffffffffffff
Example: Journal import/export
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# cephfs-journal-tool journal export myjournal.bin
journal is 4194304~80643
read 80643 bytes at offset 4194304
wrote 80643 bytes at offset 4194304 to myjournal.bin
NOTE: this is a _sparse_ file; you can
$ tar cSzf myjournal.bin.tgz myjournal.bin
to efficiently compress it while preserving sparseness.
# cephfs-journal-tool journal import myjournal.bin
undump myjournal.bin
start 4194304 len 80643
writing header 200.00000000
writing 4194304~80643
done.
.. note::
It is wise to use the ``journal export <backup file>`` command to make a journal backup
before any further manipulation.
Header mode
-----------
* ``get`` outputs the current content of the journal header
* ``set`` modifies an attribute of the header. Allowed attributes are
``trimmed_pos``, ``expire_pos`` and ``write_pos``.
Example: header get/set
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# cephfs-journal-tool header get
{ "magic": "ceph fs volume v011",
"write_pos": 4274947,
"expire_pos": 4194304,
"trimmed_pos": 4194303,
"layout": { "stripe_unit": 4194304,
"stripe_count": 4194304,
"object_size": 4194304,
"cas_hash": 4194304,
"object_stripe_unit": 4194304,
"pg_pool": 4194304}}
# cephfs-journal-tool header set trimmed_pos 4194303
Updating trimmed_pos 0x400000 -> 0x3fffff
Successfully updated header.
Event mode
----------
Event mode allows detailed examination and manipulation of the contents of the journal. Event
mode can operate on all events in the journal, or filters may be applied.
The arguments following ``cephfs-journal-tool event`` consist of an action, optional filter
parameters, and an output mode:
::
cephfs-journal-tool event <action> [filter] <output>
Actions:
* ``get`` read the events from the log
* ``splice`` erase events or regions in the journal
* ``apply`` extract filesystem metadata from events and attempt to apply it to the metadata store.
Filtering:
* ``--range <int begin>..[int end]`` only include events within the range begin (inclusive) to end (exclusive)
* ``--path <path substring>`` only include events referring to metadata containing the specified string
* ``--inode <int>`` only include events referring to metadata containing the specified inode
* ``--type <type string>`` only include events of this type
* ``--frag <ino>[.frag id]`` only include events referring to this directory fragment
* ``--dname <string>`` only include events referring to this named dentry within a directory
fragment (may only be used in conjunction with ``--frag``
* ``--client <int>`` only include events from this client session ID
Filters may be combined on an AND basis (i.e. only the intersection of events from each filter).
Output modes:
* ``binary``: write each event as a binary file, within a folder whose name is controlled by ``--path``
* ``json``: write all events to a single file, as a JSON serialized list of objects
* ``summary``: write a human readable summary of the events read to standard out
* ``list``: write a human readable terse listing of the type of each event, and
which file paths the event affects.
