Hi, I've run into the infamous XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO error.... twice in the same day.... with an xfs_repair in-between. Both time I hit this error, I was doing a myisamchk to repair a large corrupted mysql table (with a 20GB data file and a 17GB index file). I've run this database for years on this file system without a problem..... then in one day, both times when I attempted to repair this table. xfs crashed on me. I believe this is the largest table I've attempted to repair on this file system. After the first crash, the file system refused to mount.... The repair was refused as well, saying that there were entries in the metadata log that needed replaying... Given the problem mounting the file system, I ended up clearing the metadata log (xfs_repair -L). The system came back online.... but when I attempted to repair the same table, the same XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO error occured. This time, I was able to simply remount the fs w/o clearing the log and w/o an explicit repair... Since then I've avoided repairing this table.. and instead I restored a backup from a replication slave. The system has been stable in the two days since the crash (though I've avoided all myisamchk attempts). Any guidance would greatly be appreciated.... Given how mission critical this db is, I need to either find a root cause for the error or consider migration to an alternate filesystem. Below is information on: The storage hardware. The software used The kernel error seen (from dmesg). The output of the xfs_repair -L command (the one time I was forced to run it).
