There's your problem - the empty space in the superblock is supposed
to be zero. mkfs zeros it and we rely on it being zero for various
reasons.

And one of those reasons is that we use the fact it shoul dbe zero
to determine if we should be checking the CRC of the superblock.
That is if there's a single bit error in the superblock and we are
missing the correct bit in the version numbers that say CRCs are
enabled, we use the fact that the superblock CRC field - which your
filesystem knowns nothing about - should be zero to validate that
the CRC feature bit is correctly set. The above superblock will
indicate that there is a CRC set on the superblock, find the
necessary version number is not correct, and so therefore we have a
corruption in that superblock that the kernel code cannot handle
without a user telling it what is correct.

So, the fact grwofs is failing is actually the correct behaviour for
the filesystem to have in this case - the superblock is corrupt,
just not obviously so.

I misplaced a digit A block size of 4096 bytes and:

    agcount=42, agsize=7700480 blks

So the filesystem size is 42 * 7700480 * 4096 = 1.26TB.

The question I'm asking is how many AGs did the filesystem start
with, because this:

    xfs: growfs: don't read garbage for new secondary superblocks
    
    When updating new secondary superblocks in a growfs operation, the
    superblock buffer is read from the newly grown region of the
    underlying device. This is not guaranteed to be zero, so violates
    the underlying assumption that the unused parts of superblocks are
    zero filled. Get a new buffer for these secondary superblocks to
    ensure that the unused regions are zero filled correctly.

Is the only possible reason I can think of that would result in
non-zero empty space in a secondary superblock. And that implies
that the filesystem started with 16 AGs or less, and was grown with
an older kernel with this bug in it.

If it makes you feel any better, the bug that caused this had been
in the code for 15+ years and you are the first person I know of to
have ever hit it....

xfs_repair doesn't appear to have any checks in it to detect this
situation or repair it - there are some conditions for zeroing the
unused parts of a superblock, but they are focussed around detecting
and correcting damage caused by a buggy Irix 6.5-beta mkfs from 15
years ago.

Hence looks like we'll need some new xfs_repair functionality to fix
this. It might take me a little while to get you a fix - perhaps
someone else with a little bit of spare time could get it done
sooner than I can. Anyone?

Cheers,

Dave.
