Should that fail the mount if the > replacement values are also garbage? xfs_validate_new_dalign(). It returns -EINVAL is the new striped alignment cannot be used (i.e. not aligned to block or ag sizes) and that causes the mount to fail. > > diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_sb.h b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_sb.h > > index 67a40069724c..58798b9c70ba 100644 > > --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_sb.h > > +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_sb.h > > @@ -35,7 +35,8 @@ extern int xfs_sb_get_secondary(struct xfs_mount *mp, > > struct xfs_buf **bpp); > > > > extern bool xfs_validate_stripe_geometry(struct xfs_mount *mp, > > This declaration might as well lose the extern here too. > > > - __s64 sunit, __s64 swidth, int sectorsize, bool silent); > > + __s64 sunit, __s64 swidth, int sectorsize, bool primary_sb, > > + bool silent); > > What should value for @primary_sb should mkfs pass into > xfs_validate_stripe_geometry from calc_stripe_factors? Userspace problem, really. i.e. mkfs is already abusing this function by passing a NULL xfs_mount and so will crash if the function tries to dereference mp. Hence it can pass false for "primary_sb" so it doesn't run any of the kernel side primary sb recovery code that dereferences mp because it doesn't need to (can't!) run it. -Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
