RE: Fedora xfs can't open files

I did an upgrade to Fedora 16 and this did not work either.  Apparently there is something new in the Fedora 17 xfs that now allows it to work.

Subject: RE: Fedora xfs can't open files

Booting from a Fedora Live CD seems to allow the files to be accessed.  It appears the kernel in Fedora 15 (yes out of support but 18 was missing the kickstart logic so we couldnt update) is the problem. I found reference to xfs readlink updates but going to try one of the previous kernels until we can schedule the OS reinstall to a later release.  With several science packages installed and customized it takes a while to get the OS updated.

Thanks

I'm quite shure your problem isn't related to XFS (which is what I
have been using exclusively the last 8-10 years). I would reboot the
machine from a removeable medium and run a "xfs_repair -v" on all of
the partitions. If this doesn't do it, it's most probably not
XFS-related.

You can write the image to an USB-stick easily:

1. isohybrid sysresccd-image.iso
2. cat sysresccd-image.iso > /dev/sdX

Sysresccd contains all XFS-tools you need.
Isohybrid is part of the Fedora syslinux package.
