Ok, so that's a superblock. Does it match the output of # dd if=/dev/md2 bs=512 count=1 2> /dev/null | hexdump -C It should match according to the above, but it doesn't hurt to confirm. If it doesn't then your RAID device has been SBTW and that's what you need to fix first. If it does match, can you dump the output of # dd if=/dev/md2 bs=512 count=4 2> /dev/null | hexdump -C and # xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c p -c "agf 0" -c p -c "agi 0" -c p /dev/md2 Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
