Note the "-r" option and the "-n" option. The former specifies the realtime device (partition) and the latter allows you to do a non destructive repair, i.e. a "check", on a mounted filesystem. Probably a good idea at this point. So you might try something like: ~$ xfs_repair -n -r /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
