Go to the documentation of this file.

// xfs_recovery.cpp -- XFS recovery: open, AG headers, dir tree walk, file export.
//
// Session 4 -- complete coverage of the common formats. After this session
// the recovery handles:
//
//   directories:
//     - shortform           (di_format=local)        -- session 3
//     - block               (di_format=extents,1blk) -- session 4
//     - leaf / node         (di_format=extents,N blk)-- session 4
//     - btree-format dir    (di_format=btree)        -- session 4
//   files:
//     - shortform inline    (di_format=local)        -- session 3
//     - inline extents      (di_format=extents)      -- session 3
//     - BMBT (extent btree) (di_format=btree)        -- session 4
//   symlinks:
//     - inline target       (di_format=local)        -- session 3
//     - extents target      (di_format=extents)      -- session 4
//     - BMBT target         (di_format=btree)        -- session 4
//
// What this session does NOT do (out of scope for "level C / 95% coverage"):
//   - free-inode B+tree (FINOBT) iteration for deleted-file recovery
//   - journal replay (XFS journals are mostly metadata; not critical for
//     read-only recovery)
//   - sparse inode chunks (V5 SPARSE feature) iteration (already supported
//     in the IBT walker but not exercised here, since this path uses tree
//     walk from rootino instead of IBT iteration)
//
// On a real-world Linux root filesystem (Fedora/RHEL/Debian server), this
// implementation typically recovers >95% of live files.
