.SS Settings
The --settings option controls or overrides certain dump or repair
behaviors. All offset and size values in settings are in bytes (units are
not recognized.) These settings are subject to change.
.B mda_num=1|2
.br
Select which metadata area should be used. By default the first metadata
area (1) is used. mda1 is always located at offset 4096. mda2, at the
end of the device, often does not exist (it's not created by default.) If
mda1 is erased, mda2, if it exists, will often still have metadata.
\fBmetadata_offset=\fP\fIbytes\fP
.br
Select metadata text at this offset. Use with metadata_search to
print/save one instance of metadata text.
\fBmda_offset=\fP\fIbytes\fP \fBmda_size=\fP\fIbytes\fP
.br
Refers to a metadata area (mda) location and size. An mda includes an
mda_header and circular text buffer. Setting this forces metadata_search
look for metadata in the given area instead of the normal locations. When
set to zero with repair, it indicates no metadata areas should exist.
\fBmda2_offset=\fP\fIbytes\fP \fBmda2_size=\fP\fIbytes\fP
.br
When repairing a pv_header, this forces a specific offset and size for
mda2 that should be recorded in the pv_header.
\fBpv_uuid=\fP\fIuuid\fP
.br
Specify the PV UUID of the device being repaired. When not specified,
repair will attempt to determine the correct PV UUID by matching a device
name in the metadata.
\fBdevice_size=\fP\fIbytes\fP
.br
\fBdata_offset=\fP\fIbytes\fP
.br
When repairing a pv_header, the device_size, data_offset, and pvid can all
be specified directly, in which case these values are not taken from a
metadata file (where they usually come from), and the metadata file can be
omitted. data_offset is the starting location of the first physical
extent (data), which follows the first metadata area.
