NAME

       vdoforcerebuild - prepare a VDO device to exit read-only mode

SYNOPSIS

       vdoforcerebuild filename

DESCRIPTION

       vdoforcerebuild forces an existing VDO device to exit read-only mode and to attempt to regenerate as much
       metadata as possible.

       filename  must be the path of the VDODataLV as described in lvmvdo(7).  Since lvchange(8) will only mount
       that as read-only, a writable version of that device must be manually created, as shown  in  the  example
       below.

OPTIONS

       --help Print this help message and exit.

       --version
              Show the version of vdoforcerebuild.

EXAMPLE

       # lvchange -ay vdo1/vdo0pool_vdata
       # dmsetup table vdo1-vdo0pool_vdata > vdata.table
       # lvchange -an vdo1/vdo0pool_vdata
       # dmsetup create vdo1-vdo0pool_vdata --table "`cat vdata.table`"
       # vdoforcerebuild /dev/mapper/vdo1-vdo0pool_vdata
       # dmsetup remove vdo1-vdo0pool_vdata
