NAME

plfs_recover

SYNOPSIS

./plfs_recover < file .

DESCRIPTION

This utility attempts to recover a lost PLFS file or directory. PLFS files shouldn't be lost but if the set of backends for an existing mount point is ever modified in the plfsrc, then PLFS files can be lost. They will show up in a readdir() but will return ENOENT on a stat(). This utility will recover the file. If plfs_recover ever successfully reports that a file was recovered but the file remains invisible, then plfs_recover should be used to recover every directory component of the file starting at the plfs mount point.
