NAME
       thin_restore  -	restore	 thin  provisioning metadata file to device or
       file

SYNOPSIS
       thin_restore [options] -i {device|file} -o {device|file}

DESCRIPTION
       thin_restore restores thin provisioning metadata created by the respec‐
       tive   device-mapper   target   dumped	into  an  XML  formatted  (see
       thin_dump(8)) file , which optionally can be  preprocessed  before  the
       restore	to another device or file.  If restored to a metadata device ,
       the metadata can be processed by the device-mapper target.

       -o, --output {device|file}
	      Output file or device.

       -h, --help

       -V, --version
	      Output version information and exit.

EXAMPLE
       Restores the XML formatted thin provisioning metadata on file  metadata
       to  logical  volume  /dev/vg/metadata  for  further  processing	by the
       respective device-mapper target:

       thin_restore -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata

DIAGNOSTICS
