NAME
mariadb-fix-extensions - normalize table file name extensions (mariadb-fix-extensions is now a symlink to mariadb-fix-extensions)
SYNOPSIS
mariadb-fix-extensionsdata_dir
DESCRIPTION
This script is deprecated and will be removed in a later release.
mariadb-fix-extensions converts the extensions for MyISAM (or ISAM) table files to their canonical forms. It looks for files with extensions matching any lettercase variant of .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd, and .ism and renames them to have extensions of .frm, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and .ISM, respectively. This can be useful after transferring the files from a system with case-insensitive file names (such as Windows) to a system with case-sensitive file names.
Invoke mariadb-fix-extensions like this, where data_dir is the path name to the MariaDB data directory.
