Description

~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The check command verifies the consistency of a repository and the corresponding archives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, the underlying repository data files are checked:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For all segments the segment magic (header) is checked
|
||
|
|
- For all objects stored in the segments, all metadata (e.g. crc and size) and
|
||
|
|
all data is read. The read data is checked by size and CRC. Bit rot and other
|
||
|
|
types of accidental damage can be detected this way.
|
||
|
|
- If we are in repair mode and a integrity error is detected for a segment,
|
||
|
|
we try to recover as many objects from the segment as possible.
|
||
|
|
- In repair mode, it makes sure that the index is consistent with the data
|
||
|
|
stored in the segments.
|
||
|
|
- If you use a remote repo server via ssh:, the repo check is executed on the
|
||
|
|
repo server without causing significant network traffic.
|
||
|
|
- The repository check can be skipped using the --archives-only option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Second, the consistency and correctness of the archive metadata is verified:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Is the repo manifest present? If not, it is rebuilt from archive metadata
|
||
|
|
chunks (this requires reading and decrypting of all metadata and data).
|
||
|
|
- Check if archive metadata chunk is present. if not, remove archive from
|
||
|
|
manifest.
|
||
|
|
- For all files (items) in the archive, for all chunks referenced by these
|
||
|
|
files, check if chunk is present (if not and we are in repair mode, replace
|
||
|
|
it with a same-size chunk of zeros). This requires reading of archive and
|
||
|
|
file metadata, but not data.
|
||
|
|
- If we are in repair mode and we checked all the archives: delete orphaned
|
||
|
|
chunks from the repo.
|
||
|
|
- if you use a remote repo server via ssh:, the archive check is executed on
|
||
|
|
the client machine (because if encryption is enabled, the checks will require
|
||
|
|
decryption and this is always done client-side, because key access will be
|
||
|
|
required).
|
||
|
|
- The archive checks can be time consuming, they can be skipped using the
|
||
|
|
--repository-only option.
