Hi Dave,

Yes. And there's no hard and fast number we can give you because
runtime will depends on the amount and density of the metadata, the
speed of the underlying storage, how much RAM you have and how badly
corrupted the filesystem is.

IOWs, runtime can vary from a few minutes to a few days as you vary
those parameters, and there's really no way to tell in advance where
in that massive variance any specific production filesystem will
land.

Doing a test run (xfs_repair -n) to get a ballpark figure during a
planned downtime period is the only way you'll get any idea of the
*best case* repair duration on a *clean* filesystem. But the moment
repair finds corruptions, all guesses you can make about runtime go
out the window...

ok, so I at least need to try & see how well xfs_repair does on a clean filesystem.

Thanks.
