NAME
mfsmetadump - dump MooseFS metadata info in human readable format

SYNOPSIS
mfsmetadump [-d] [-s section_name] metadata_file

DESCRIPTION
mfsmetadump dumps MooseFS metadata info in human readable format. Output consists of several sections with different types of information. Every section consist of header data - rows starting with hash (#) sign - and content data (may be empty).

OPTIONS

-d - replace all non-printable characters (codes < 32 and > 126) with '.' (it was default behaviour in version < 3.0.110).

-s - dump only specified section of the file. Possible sections:
	HEAD - header info
	SESS - client sessions
	LABS - labels (not used)
	SCLA - storage classes
	PATT - pattern overrides
	NODE - tree nodes (i-nodes)
	EDGE - tree edges (file names)
	FREE - free nodes (deleted i-nodes)
	QUOT - quota definitions
	XATR - xattr data
	PACL - posix acl data
	OPEN - open files
	FLCK - flock data
	PLCK - posix locks (lockf,ioctl) data
	CSDB - active chunkservers
	CHNK - chunks
