repair
Description
Irrevocable Data Loss:
This command completely and irreversibly erases any data that may exist on the selected drive(s).
DirectPV supports using the xfs_repair utility to attempt to repair managed drives that report XFS filesystem errors, faults, or corruption.
This command has no guarantee of success or complete recovery.
The repair command creates one-time Kubernetes Job with the pod name as repair-<DRIVE-ID>.
Kubernetes automatically removes this job five minutes after completion.
Progress and status of the drive repair can be viewed using kubectl log command.
Before beginning a repair, you must first suspend the drive.
To retrieve the ID of the drive to repair, use list drives
