.TH CACHE_METADATA_SIZE 8 "Thin Provisioning Tools" "Red Hat, Inc."
.SH NAME
cache_metadata_size \- Estimate the size of the metadata device needed for a given configuration
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cache_metadata_size
.RB [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B cache_metadata_size
estimates the size of the metadata. Either \-\-nr\-blocks, or \-\-block\-size
and \-\-device\-size must be specified.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB\-\-nr\-blocks\fP \<natural\>"
Specify the number of cache blocks.
.IP "\fB\-\-block-size\fP \<sectors\>"
Specify the size of each cache block in 512 byte sectors.
.IP "\fB\-\-device\-size\fP \<sectors\>"
Specify total size of the fast device used in the cache. In 512 byte sectors.
.IP "\fB\-\-max\-hint\-width\fP \<nr bytes\>"
Cache policies use a per block 'hint' to record extra info (for instance hit
counts). At the moment all policies use a 4 byte hint width. If you want to use
a different hint width specify it with this switch.

era_restore \- restore era metadata file to device or file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B era_restore
.RB [ options ]
.RB -i
.I {device|file}

.I {device|file}
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B era_restore
restores era metadata created by the respective
device-mapper target dumped into an XML formatted (see
.BR era_dump(8) )
.I file
, which optionally can be preprocessed before the restore to another
.I device
or
.I file.
If restored to a metadata
.I device
, the metadata can be processed by the device-mapper target.
This tool cannot be run on live metadata.
.IP "\fB\-i, \-\-input\fP \fI{device|file}\fP"

.IP "\fB\-o, \-\-output\fP \fI{device|file}\fP"

.SH EXAMPLE
Restores the XML formatted era metadata on file
.B metadata
to logical volume /dev/vg/metadata for further processing by the
respective device-mapper target:
.sp
.B era_restore -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.B era_restore
returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.
