All,
We have an XFS which fails to mount due to an internal error according
to the messages reported to syslog:
kernel: Filesystem md4: Disabling barriers, trial barrier write failed

kernel: Failed to recover EFIs on filesystem: md4
kernel: XFS: log mount finish failed
xfs_repair is unwilling to repair the fs since it sees unwritten data
in the xfs log:
prompt# xfs_repair /dev/md4
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
- zero log...
ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to
be replayed. Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before
re-running xfs_repair. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use
the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.
Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount
of the filesystem before doing this.
Of course, since I can't mount the fs, I can't replay the log. Before
zeroing out the log w/ xfs_repair -L, I was wondering if there is any
way to tell how critical the metadata in the log is? I've run
"xfs_logprint", but not being an XFS developer, I don't understand the
info it's showing me. Is there anyway to glean something useful from
xfs_logprint? For reference, I've put a copy of the complete output
at http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~valdes/xfslog.txt (warning, it's over 3.7
million lines long and about 192 MB big).
The system with this problem is running RHEL 5.7 with the bundled XFS
modules, eg:
prompt# modinfo xfs

although the XFS itself was built on an earlier version of RHEL 5, FWIW.
The details and history of the problem XFS are:
- It's ~20TB built on an md stripe of two 3ware RAID6 arrays.
- The problem showed up after a drive in one of the 3ware RAIDs
failed, causing the controller to hang, which took that RAID (scsi
device) offline:

I was able to fully shutdown the system after this, although I did
need to power cycle it in order to get the 3ware controller back
online (the controller does have a functional battery, so in theory
data in its write cache should have been preserved, although
messages at reboot suggest otherwise). Nevertheless, upon reboot,
the XFS mounted fine:

kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi7: AEN: WARNING (0x04:0x0008): Unclean shutdown detected:unit=0.

- Once this started happening, I shutdown the system again, but this
time at reboot, the XFS failed to mount, w/ the error given at the
top of this email.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to recover from this state, or
is my only option xfs_repair -L and hope that there isn't any
corruption? This XFS is part of a scratch filesystem (we have a large
PVFS filesystem built on top of this XFS plus 7 other identical ones
on other servers), so if it ended up being corrupted, it wouldn't been
the end of the world, but it would represent a lot of lost work.
Thanks for any help.
John
