i guys, i have a problem. yesterday there was a power outage at one of my datacenters, where i have a relatively large fileserver. 2 arrays, 1 x 14 tb and 1 x 18 tb both in raid6, with an adaptec card. after the outage, the server came back online, the xfs partitions were mounted, and everything looked okay. i could access the data and everything seemed just fine. today i woke up to lots of i/o errors, and when i rebooted the server, the partitions would not mount: Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: XFS internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_RETURN a<ffffffff80056933>] pdflush+0x0/0x1fb Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff80056a84>] pdflush+0x151/0x1fb Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff800cd931>] wb_kupdate+0x0/0x16a Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff80032c2b>] kthread+0xfe/0x132 Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff8005dfc1>] child_rip+0xa/0x11 Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff800a3ab7>] keventd_create_kthread+0x0/0xc4 Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff80032b2d>] kthread+0x0/0x132 Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: [<ffffffff8005dfb7>] child_rip+0x0/0x11 Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: XFS internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_RETURN at line 279 of file fs/xfs/xfs_alloc.c. Caller 0xffffffff88342331 Oct 14 04:09:17 kp4 kernel: got a bunch of these in dmesg. i googled for solutions and i think i jumped the horse by doing xfs_repair -L /dev/sdc. it would not clean it with xfs_repair /dev/sdc, and everybody pretty much says the same thing. this is what i was getting when trying to mount the array. Filesystem Corruption of in-memory data detected. Shutting down filesystem xfs_check Did i jump the gun by using the -L switch :/ ? -- View this message in context: http://xfs.9218.n7.nabble.com/xfs-corrupted-tp35009.html Sent from the Xfs - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
