The filesystem is not optimized for "I replace part of the disk contents with zeroes" and find that errors. You will have to look in each file if it's contents are still valid, or maybe bogus. I find the robustness of XFS amazing: You overwrote 1/5th of the disk with zeroes, and it still works :-) Now that you are in this state, I'd recommend you a) make a *real* *tape* *backup* You learned it the hard way: a disk copy is no backup, at least I hope you learned that lesson b) Maybe also copy all your files to another system, or you trust your backup from a) very much c) reinitialize the full array. Really recreate every array, 2 b sure all your RAIDs work this time. d) copy your data backup - either from the other copy of b), or from the tape backup in a) Then you will see a correct view of disk space used and which files are still there. Now you must check every files content, some will have bogus content. -- mit freundlichen Grüssen, Michael Monnerie, Ing.
