Dear Nikoluas,
thank you for your time and effort to reply. I really appreciate your help.
Thank you.
I am using S3QL 1.12
A general question, under normal operations, What does fsck mean when it
says "[fsck] Deleted spurious object"
is it removing items on the S3 drive that are no longer in the local
metadata file?
Ok I have a backup of the local metadata - the one I was using is 48Mb, but
the one I have from backup is 178Mb (.db) file.
So I placed the backup of the .db and params file in the .s3ql folder.
When I run:
mount.s3ql --allow-other s3:/xxxx/ /folder/
I see this in the mount.log file:
2014-06-18 12:52:07.928 [2980] MainThread: [mount] Using 4 upload threads.
2014-06-18 12:52:08.669 [2980] MainThread: [mount] Ignoring locally cached
metadata (outdated).
2014-06-18 12:52:08.772 [2980] MainThread: [root] Backend reports that fs
is still mounted elsewhere, aborting.
When I run fsck.s3ql s3://xxxxx/ I see this:
Ignoring locally cached metadata (outdated).
Backend reports that file system is still mounted elsewhere. Either
the file system has not been unmounted cleanly or the data has not yet
propagated through the backend. In the later case, waiting for a while
should fix the problem, in the former case you should try to run fsck
on the computer where the file system has been mounted most recently.
Enter "continue" to use the outdated data anyway:
here is the log before I killed the process.
It downloads a replaces the local 178Mb copy with a 48Mb db... and I'm
pretty certain it will start to "delete spurious objects"

I have made a backup of all of these (even thought they are a year old)
The following backups are available:
s3qladm shows these:

I'm confused s3qladm shows backups that are a year old.. How can i see this
remote metadata that is newer?
Should I use s3qlctrl to upload the 178Mb localmeta data files? then mount
or fsck and mount?
Please, any guidance is welcome.
