NAME         top

       innochecksum - offline InnoDB file checksum utility

SYNOPSIS         top

       innochecksum [options] file_name

DESCRIPTION         top

       innochecksum prints checksums for InnoDB files. This tool reads an
       InnoDB tablespace file, calculates the checksum for each page,
       compares the calculated checksum to the stored checksum, and reports
       mismatches, which indicate damaged pages. It was originally developed
       to speed up verifying the integrity of tablespace files after power
       outages but can also be used after file copies. Because checksum
       mismatches will cause InnoDB to deliberately shut down a running
       server, it can be preferable to use this tool rather than waiting for
       a server in production usage to encounter the damaged pages.
       innochecksum cannot be used on tablespace files that the server
       already has open. For such files, you should use CHECK TABLE to check
       tables within the tablespace.
       If checksum mismatches are found, you would normally restore the
       tablespace from backup or start the server and attempt to use
       mysqldump to make a backup of the tables within the tablespace.
       Invoke innochecksum like this:
           shell> innochecksum [options] file_name
       innochecksum supports the following options. For options that refer
       to page numbers, the numbers are zero-based.
