I suppose that shouldn't effect things either way, but I'm not really sure what the disk utility might do. It might be worth checking whether 'file -s <device>' still identifies the partition as an XFS filesystem..? Beyond that, I'd suggest to capture and post the logs of the failed mount and perhaps the output of 'xfs_repair -n <dev>.' This will attempt a dry-run (e.g., no modifications) check and repair of the filesystem. Brian > This drive has all my audio and video stored on it!
