ltdbtool [OPTION...] {COMMAND} [COMMAND-ARGS]

ltdbtool is a utility to manipulate CTDB's local TDB databases (LTDBs) without connecting to a CTDB daemon​.

It can be used to:

• dump the contents of a LTDB, optionally printing the CTDB record header information,
• convert between an LTDB and a non-clustered tdb by adding or removing CTDB headers and
• convert between 64 and 32 bit LTDBs where the CTDB record headers differ by 4 bytes of padding​.

-e

Dump empty records​. These are normally excluded​.

-p

Dump with header information, similar to "ctdb catdb"​.

-s {0 | 32 | 64}

Specify how to determine the CTDB record header size for the input database:

0

no CTDB header

32

CTDB header size of a 32 bit system (20 bytes)

64

CTDB header size of a 64 bit system (24 bytes)

The default is 32 or 64 depending on the system architecture​.

-o {0 | 32 | 64}

Specify how to determine the CTDB record header size for the output database, see -s​.

-S SIZE

Explicitly specify the CTDB record header SIZE of the input database in bytes​.

-O SIZE

Explicitly specify the CTDB record header SIZE for the output database in bytes​.

-h

Print help text​.

help

Print help text​.

dump IDB

Dump the contents of an LTDB input file IDB to standard output in a human-readable format​.

convert IDB ODB

Copy an LTDB input file IDB to output file ODB, optionally adding or removing CTDB headers​.

Print a local tdb in "tdbdump" style:

      ltdbtool dump idmap2​.tdb​.0

Print a local tdb with header information similar to "ctdb catdb":

      ltdbtool dump -p idmap2​.tdb​.0

Strip the CTDB headers from records:

      ltdbtool convert -o0 idmap2​.tdb​.0 idmap​.tdb

Strip 64 bit CTDB headers from records, running on i386:

      ltdbtool convert -s64 -o0 idmap2​.tdb​.0 idmap​.tdb

Strip the CTDB headers from records by piping through tdbrestore:

      ltdbtool dump idmap2​.tdb​.0 | tdbrestore idmap​.tdb

Convert a local tdb from a 64 bit system for usage on a 32 bit system:

      ltdbtool convert -s64 -o32 idmap2​.tdb​.0 idmap2​.tdb​.1

Add a default header:

      ltdbtool convert -s0 idmap​.tdb idmap2​.tdb​.0
