Hello.
There is definitively something wrong in 3.6.xx with XFS, in
particular after an abrupt stop of the machine :
I now have corruption on a 3rd machine (not involved with ceph).
The machine was just rebooting from 3.6.2 kernel to 3.6.3 kernel.
This machine isn't under heavy load, but it's a machine we use for
tests & compilations. We often crash it. For 2 years, we didn't have
problems. XFS always was reliable, even in hard conditions (hard
reset, loss of power, etc)
This time, after 3.6.3 boot, one of my xfs volume refuse to mount :
mount: /dev/mapper/LocalDisk-debug--git: can't read superblock
276596.189363] XFS (dm-1): Mounting Filesystem
[276596.270614] XFS (dm-1): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
[276596.711295] XFS (dm-1): xlog_recover_process_data: bad clientid 0x0
[276596.711329] XFS (dm-1): log mount/recovery failed: error 5
[276596.711516] XFS (dm-1): log mount failed
Just found something interesting :
I was rebooting with 3.4.15 to make a backup of this volume. As I said
in previous message, I didn't did xfs_repair on it.
Before reboot, I forgot to edit fstab to prevent the mount.
To my surprise, under 3.4.15 the volume mounts like a charm !!!
[ 37.958374] XFS (dm-1): Mounting Filesystem
[ 38.050374] XFS (dm-1): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
[ 69.596892] XFS (dm-1): Ending recovery (logdev: internal)
As far as I can say, there is no corruption, no problems, all my files
are here !!!
So far here is the scenario :
You have to hard reset your machine with 3.6 (maybe kernel version isn't
important here). As I encoutered others 3.6 Bugs (exit_mm and
rwsem_down_failed_common) , I had to do that.
So XFS is not clean.
2) boot with 3.6.xx
Mounting volume fails, bacause log replay fails for an unkwown reason
3) You think your FS is broken, so you start an xfs_repair, which is
somehow fooled and definitively broke your filesystem
I hope it's reproductible. Will try tomorrow morning.
Cheers,
