kfed是没有在文档中标出的asm工具，在oracle 11gR1中被引入。可以被用来读写asm元数据，特别是磁盘头和asm元数据的内容。
kfed是一个单独的工具，不依赖与asm实例，所以可以对mounted、dismounted的磁盘组使用。其强大特性之一就是修复asm损坏的元数据。写模式的kfed功能很强大，但是用的不好的话破坏性也很大。
想要修改ASM磁盘头信息，要借助Oracle的工具kfed，而默认这个工具是没有编译的，进入$ORACLE_HOME/lib目录，对kfed工具信息编译：
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ikfed
帮助信息：
$ kfed -h
as/mlib ASM Library [asmlib='lib']
aun/um AU number to examine or update [AUNUM=number] #检查或更新的AU号，默认是AU0或asm的磁盘头
aus/z Allocation Unit size in bytes [AUSZ=number] #AU的大小，默认是1MB，如果使用了是非默认AU大小，需要指定该参数
blkn/um Block number to examine or update [BLKNUM=number] #要读取的块号，默认是快0，或AU的第一个块
blks/z Metadata block size in bytes [BLKSZ=number]
ch/ksum Update checksum before each write [CHKSUM=YES/NO]
cn/t Count of AUs to process [CNT=number]
de/v ASM device to examine or update [DEV=string] #asm磁盘或设备名称。关键字dev可以被省略，asm磁盘名不能省略
dm/pall Don't suppress repeated lines when dumping corrupt blocks [DMPALL=YES/NO]
o/p KFED operation type [OP=READ/WRITE/MERGE/REPAIR/NEW/FORM/FIND/STRUCT]
p/rovnm Name for provisioning purposes [PROVNM=string]
s/eek AU number to seek to [SEEK=number]
te/xt File name for translated block text [TEXT=string]
ty/pe ASM metadata block type number [TYPE=number]
使用示例：
语法示例：
# displays online help for the utility
$ kfed -help # reads the disk header to stdout
$ kfed op=read dev=/dev/emcpowera1 # reads the specified AU and block into file /tmp/test
$ kfed op=read dev=/dev/emcpowera1 aunum=3 blknum=3 text=/tmp/test # writes from /tmp/test into the specified AU and block
#block checksum is computed and written together with data
$ kfed op=write dev=/dev/emcpowera1 aunum=3 blknum=3 text=/tmp/test
#下面的命令相当于 kfed op=read aun=0 aus=1048576 blkn=0 dev=/dev/crs01
$ kfed read /dev/crs01 |more
