I guess your problem has nothing to do with Fedora. I've never had problems with XFS, neither on Fedora 14-18 nor Arch or whatever. If you can access your files after booting from an external medium, there are two thing I could think of: 1. Something selinux-related? 2. Kernel? I have no selinux-experience and can't give you any advice here. But how about running a fresh kernel? 1. Go to http://www.kernel.org and download latest stable/mainline 2. Copy the .configure from your /boot directory into your kernel-tree. 3. make oldconfig 4. make 5. make modules_install 6. make install 7. reboot and chose your new kernel Before you compile, take a look into .config. This is what I have (but I'm not using the Fedora .config): [htd@wildsau ~]$ cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep XFS CONFIG_XFS_FS=m CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y # CONFIG_XFS_RT is not set # CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_VXFS_FS is not set [htd@wildsau ~]$ uname -a Linux wildsau.fritha.org 3.8.12-rc1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 7 07:27:12 CEST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I'm mounting my XFS partitions with "rw,discard,noatime,logbsize=256k,logbufs=8,inode64,nobarrier" You can of course omit the "discard" if you're on a rotational drive. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
