Hi, I have an external USB 2TB harddisk with an XFS filesystem connected to a Debian Lenny with a 2.6.33.4 kernel. 5 days ago I backuped my data to this external drive. While this backup process the USB port got reset and now all the data on the xfs is lost. I cannot mount the filesystem anymore. home:/# mount /dev/mapper/backup /mnt/backup/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/backup, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so home:/# mount -t xfs /dev/mapper/backup /mnt/backup/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/backup, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so The XFS is in a LUKS volume, but the luksOpen works flawlessly (cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb4 backup). The syslog at the time of the backup process: Dec 13 22:34:26 home kernel: usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Dec 13 22:34:37 home kernel: usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Dec 13 22:35:15 home kernel: d2fd1000: c2 5b ed 04 29 c1 19 04 dd 51 f8 84 5c ca 33 79 .[..)....Q..\.3y Dec 13 22:35:15 home kernel: Filesystem "dm-0": XFS internal error xfs_da_do_buf(2) at line 2113 of file fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c.

The first line of xfs_repair is "bad or unsupported version" and that it cant find a superblock. Some ideas? What happened? Do I use a buggy version? I have 2.9.8 (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xfsprogs) What can I do to avoid these problems in the future? It is a problem with the interaction of LUKS, XFS and USB?
