An update: Mounting the degraded xfs filesystem still hangs, so I can't replay the journal, so I don't yet want to run xfs_repair. I can mount the degraded xfs filesystem like this: $ mount -t xfs -o ro,norecovery,inode64,logdev=/dev/md/nvme2 /dev/volgrp4TB/lvol4TB /export/lvol4TB/ If I do a "du" on the contents, I see 3822 files with either "Structure needs cleaning" or "No such file or directory". Is what I mounted what I would get if I used the xfs_repair -L option, and discarded the journal? Or would there be more corruption, e.g. to the directory structure? Some of the instances of "No such file or directory" are for files that are not in their correct directory - I can tell by the filetype and the directory name. Does that by itself imply directory corruption? At this point, can I do a backup, either using rsync or xfsdump or xfs_copy? I have a separate RAID array on the same server where I could put the 7.8 TB of data, though the destination already has data on it - so I don't think xfs_copy is right. Is xfsdump to a directory faster/better than rsync? Or would it be best to use something like $ tar cf - /export/lvol4TB/directory | (cd /export/lvol6TB/ ; tar xfp -) Thanks, Bart On Sat, Mar 7, 2020 at 12:36 PM Bart Brashers <bart.brashers@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > (Re-sending without the attachment, in case that's why my previous > message appears to have been silently rejected.) > > I can't find a list for non-devel related post like this, so sorry if > this is going to the wrong place. > > I have an older JBOD attached to a Microsemi 3164-8e RAID card (with > battery backup) using CentOS 7.
