DESCRIPTION

btier_inspect

OPTIONS

-f
Specify blockdevice(s) and or regular file(s) that where used to create the btier device.
-b
Backup the metadata to /tmp For example : cli/btier_inspect -f /data/ssd.img:/data/sas.img:/data/sata.img -b This will result in the following files being created in /tmp:

bitlist0 bitlist1 bitlist2 blocklist0 magic_dev0 magic_dev1 magic_dev2

So we have one bitlist + magic_dev file per attached device. As well as a single file representing the blocklist.
