From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> The NEEDSREPAIR flag can be set on filesystems where we /know/ that there's something wrong with the metadata and want to force the sysadmin to run xfs_repair before the next mount. The goal here is to prevent non-repair changes to a filesystem when we are confident of its instability. Normally we wouldn't bother with such safety checks for the debugger, but the label and uuid functions can be called from xfs_admin, so we should prevent these administrative tasks until the filesystem can be repaired.
