According to official Troubleshooting documentation fscan command has "--thawed" switch in splunk 6.5.1 version also.
(http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1/Troubleshooting/CommandlinetoolsforusewithSupport)

I tried to use it as:
splunk fsck scan --all-buckets-one-index --index-name=my_index ----thawed
and got response:
_ Unrecognized argument "--thawed"_

Any idea how to scan all thawed bucket without use external script and single bucket selection?
(splunk fsck scan --one-bucket --bucket-path=/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/my_index/thaweddb/db_1234567890/

Also:

Hi!

Little bash scripting can help:

for bucket_folder in ls -1 thawed_folder; do /opt/splunk/bin/splunk fsck scan --one-bucket --bucket-path=thawed_folder/$bucket_folder;done

🙂
