That doesn't look good - something has trashed an inode cluster by
the look of it. Was this why you ran xfs_repair?

FWIW, do you know what the inode number of the large file was? I'm
wondering if it was in the same cluster as the above inode and so
was corrupted in some way that cause repair to head off into lala
land....

OK, so repair wasn't burning up an entire CPU walking/searching
lists?

Ok - the other commands, however, tell me more than just the disk
blocks used - they also tell me how many extents the file has and
how they were laid out, which is what I really need to know about
that sparse file. It will also help me recreate a file with a
similar layout to see if xfs_repair chokes on it here, or whether it
was something specific to a corruption encountered....

Cheers,

Dave.
