Use at your own risk! Phase 1: Find filesystem geometry. /mnt/fourth: using 4 threads to scrub. Info: /mnt/fourth: Kernel metadata repair facility not detected.

Also the -n output has many unicode complaints with full filenames in the output. e.g. Info: inode 1815560251 (27/3620923): Unicode name "Chapter\xc2\xa02.\xc2\xa0Securing Your Network.webloc" in directory should be normalized as "Chapter 2. Securing Your Network.webloc". This should be less verbose by default. Perhaps something generic like, "Some unicode filenames should be normalized, use -v for verbose output." I don't want to have to report a scrub with a bunch of filenames interlaced in the output. Plus that's nothing I can or even want to do anything about. That file likely came from a Mac using netatalk or samba. Hopefully the repair mode for scrub doesn't normalize these files, I don't really want to find out the hard way that corrected files then can't be properly read over that same network connection or otherwise have filenames apparently mangled. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
