Hi, so, the disk enclosure attached to my RaspberryPi[0] had "some" kind of failure last night: one of the disks appears to have some kind of hardware problem, the other is fine, but the XFS file system cannot be mounted. Instead of using the RPI to try the repair, I attached the enclosure to an Intel i7 machine (16 GB RAM) and attempted to mount: ==================================================== # uname -r 4.9.0-3-amd64 # mount -t xfs /dev/mapper/owc1 /mnt/ mount: mount /dev/mapper/owc1 on /mnt/ failed: Structure needs cleaning # dmesg XFS (dm-1): Mounting V5 Filesystem XFS (dm-1): Starting recovery (logdev: internal) XFS (dm-1): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_inode_buf_verify+0x6e/0xf0 [xfs], xfs_inode block 0x5a48d610 XFS (dm-1): Unmount and run xfs_repair XFS (dm-1): First 64 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: ffff9cb8cc428000: dc 70 f3 22 07 71 ab 49 6c a6 5c 23 c9 b1 31 37 .p.".q.Il.\#..17 ffff9cb8cc428010: 3f db 62 33 54 87 4d 7d 1e 09 cc 4b fb 2c b0 22 ?.b3T.M}...K.,." ffff9cb8cc428020: a9 54 91 1a 41 40 fe e1 16 7e 82 e1 56 b4 a8 9a .T..A@...~..V... ffff9cb8cc428030: 29 67 de c0 75 01 75 77 3a 1b af 5a 60 1c 4c c7 )g..u.uw:..Z`.L.

Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before re-running xfs_repair. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.

Any ideas on how to tackle this? Thanks, Christian.
