Hi Bill,
I have attached the xfsrestore version 3.0.1 last 20k log of my last dump file. I will be doing with version 3.0.5 of all three of my dumps (all three are bad, I got 32 GB, 44 GB and 49 GB back).
Please let me know if this is useful.
Thank you.
Looks like the corrupt portion of the dump caused xfsdump to think it
needed to read a ton of data before it could move on. So it was
reading 256 KiB at a time until it hit the end of the file. I'll
probably need the last 1 million lines or so in order to see what
happened before it got into this state.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Right now the log file is already over 500 MB and
growing. Even after compression I do not think I can
mail it as an attachment.
Is there any other way that I can send you the log
files?
If you could just send the last few thousand lines that
should be sufficient.
If I do end up needing more than that I can provide an ftp
drop for you.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
This is the very first time I tried doing a
xfsrestore
of a back up and I hit some serious trouble.
I had openSUSE 11.1 (kernel 2.6.27) on my
Acer
notebook. I did a xfsdump of /home to a WD
My Passport
external USB hard drive with XFS on it.
I installed openSUSE 11.4 (kernel 2.6.37),
then tried
to do xfsrestore from the WD USB drive. The
dump file
is 121 GB.
I tried two times on two different days, but
each time
the xfsrestore would stop writing at the exact
same point,
49 GB and say success at the end.
I then copied the dump file to one hard drive
on my
desk top, and did a dump to another hard drive,
to
/tmp/mnt3. I get back identical messages:
...
9>xfsrestore: attempt to read 1008286921
bytes
failed: end of recorded data
xfsdump breaks a file's data into "extents" that
are a max
size of 16 MB.
The fact that this is trying to read almost 1 GB
here
indicates that
the extend header is corrupt.
...
xfsrestore: content.c:7510:
restore_extent_group: Assertion `ehdr.eh_type ==
4' failed.
As Dave said, this also indicates a corrupt extent
header.
I'd recommend adding "-v 5" to your xfsrestore
command line
and redirecting the
(very verbose) output to a file, and send that
compressed
output to me or the
list. It'd be best to do this with more than one
of your
dumps so we can see
if there's a pattern to where the corruption
occurs.
Bill
