Abstract
Metadata is extracted from a filesystem of a first system. The filesystem includes user data and the metadata. The metadata relates to the user data and is corrupt. Just the just the metadata extracted from the filesystem is transmitted from the first system to a second system. The second system receives the transmitted metadata, and loads this metadata to create a dummy namespace reflecting the metadata. The second system debugs the metadata, and prepares a patch based on this debugging. Execution of the patch allows the metadata to be repaired so that the metadata is no longer corrupt. The patch is transmitted from the second system to the first system for execution at the first system to allow the metadata to be repaired at the first system so that the metadata is no longer corrupt at the first system.
