JBD2_JOURNAL_SKIP_RE(9)             The Linux Journalling API             JBD2_JOURNAL_SKIP_RE(9)



NAME
       jbd2_journal_skip_recovery - Start journal and wipe exiting records

SYNOPSIS
       int jbd2_journal_skip_recovery(journal_t * journal);

ARGUMENTS
       journal
           journal to startup

DESCRIPTION
       Locate any valid recovery information from the journal and set up the journal structures
       in memory to ignore it (presumably because the caller has evidence that it is out of
       date). This function doesn't appear to be exported..

       We perform one pass over the journal to allow us to tell the user how much recovery
       information is being erased, and to let us initialise the journal transaction sequence
       numbers to the next unused ID.
