NAME         top

       mariadb-fix-extensions - normalize table file name extensions
       (mariadb-fix-extensions is now a symlink to mariadb-fix-
       extensions)

SYNOPSIS         top


       mariadb-fix-extensions data_dir

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.

           shell> mariadb-fix-extensions data_dir
