💖 VDORECOVER — the "bestie ur VDO is full" rescue page 💖

okay so picture this: ur VDO volume is full, like no storage left, zero, nada, and ur just standing there like 🧍‍♀️. that's literally what vdorecover is for. it lives in section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, i.e. it's a system admin command, so bring ur big-girl permissions 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vdorecover vdo_device

that's it. one command, one argument. we love a low-effort icon 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

vdorecover recovers available physical space on a full VDO volume 💅

the way it does it?? it mounts the volume temporarily with snapshots and then sends discards to it. that's the whole vibe. reclaim the space, no cap 🫶

⚠️ heads up bestie: this is the only thing it does. it's a one-trick pony and the trick is freeing ur storage.
