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.
|
|
- A repository check can be time consuming. Partial checks are possible with the ``--max-duration`` 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 a chunk is not present and we are in repair mode, replace it with a same-size
|
|
replacement chunk of zeros.
|
|
If a previously lost chunk reappears (e.g. via a later backup) and we are in
|
|
repair mode, the all-zero replacement chunk will be replaced by the correct chunk.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The ``--max-duration`` option can be used to split a long-running repository check into multiple partial checks.
|
|
After the given number of seconds the check is interrupted. The next partial check will continue where the
|
|
previous one stopped, until the complete repository has been checked. Example: Assuming a full check took 7
|
|
hours, then running a daily check with --max-duration=3600 (1 hour) would result in one full check per week.
|
|
|
|
Attention: Partial checks can only do way less checks than a full check (only the CRC32 checks on segment file
|
|
entries are done) and cannot be combined with ``--repair``. Partial checks may therefore be useful only with very
|
|
large repositories where a full check would take too long. Doing a full repository check aborts a partial check;
|
|
the next partial check will start from the beginning.
|
|
|
|
The ``--verify-data`` option will perform a full integrity verification (as opposed to
|
|
checking the CRC32 of the segment) of data, which means reading the data from the
|
|
repository, decrypting and decompressing it. This is a cryptographic verification,
|
|
which will detect (accidental) corruption. For encrypted repositories it is
|
|
tamper-resistant as well, unless the attacker has access to the keys.
|
|
|
|
It is also very slow. |
