It's called a "dry run" Jeffrey. It will tell you what problems it finds but without attempting to fix them. Sometimes it's better to see what is broken and in what way BEFORE actually attempting to fix it, as the fixes may sometimes include unintended consequences. What we're doing here is looking both ways twice before crossing the street, instead of stepping into traffic without looking. So my advice is to run with "-n" and post the output of the command so we (mostly Dave) can see what's wrong before you actually make the repairs. He may tell you to go ahead and run the destructive repair, or depending on what he sees he may have you perform some other tasks before that. You had no experience with XFS before embarking on this DVR drive migration, and little to no experience with *nix. You are unable to digest the information in the man pages, stumbling with the commands we give you, etc. Thus it makes a lot of sense to play it safe with everything you do here. -- Stan > On Dec 21, 2012, at 12:12 PM, Stan Hoeppner <stan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> On 12/21/2012 9:32 AM, Jeffrey Ellis wrote: >> >>> xfs_repair /dev/sda2 >>> xfs_repair: /dev/sda2 contains a mounted filesystem >>> >>> xfs_repair /dev/sda3 >>> xfs_repair: cannot open /dev/sda3: Device or resource busy >> >> ~$ man xfs_repair >> >> ... the filesystem to be repaired must be unmounted ... >> >> Note the "-r" option and the "-n" option.
