The log failure is probably just the first error xfs encounters; I imagine that after you zap the log, you'll find that everything else is in equally bad shape. You could _try_ an # xfs_metadump -o /dev/whatever fs.metadump # xfs_mdrestore fs.metadump fs.img and then try your various metadata salvage techniques on fs.img (recreating as necessary with another xfs_mdrestore after failure) as practice runs, but I'm guessing that xfs_metadump will fail in equally spectacular ways. Unless you can get your storage somehow reassembled properly, I doubt that there's much xfs tools can do to help you. -Eric > I'm just trying to salvage whatever I can from this FS.
