SALD (SALVAGE_DIRECTORY) -- Salvage a directory.
usage: SALD pathname... {CL}
FORMAT
SALD pathname...
SALD corrects problems in directories caused by a system crash or network
failure. The specified pathname must refer to a directory.
SALD makes the specified directory usable and saves as much information as
possible.
The following are symptoms of damaged directories:
- LD reports that the directory is empty, but it cannot be deleted.
- LD lists a file in the directory, but no other command can find the
file.
- The directory is completely unreadable, and errors occur on every
access attempt.
ARGUMENTS
pathname
(required) Specify name of directory to be salvaged. Multiple
pathnames and wildcarding are permitted.
OPTIONS
SALD has no unique options.
This command uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard
command options listed in HELP CL.
EXAMPLES
$ sald /sqh/data_dir Salvage the directory specified.
