Did this one also fail to repair? How do I know/check/test if "this one" fails to refer? I'm not sure what you're referring to (or what to do with it). > > agcount = 25 > > 25 ags, presumably the fs was grown in the past, but ok... Yes, it was. Ran out of space so I increased the size of the logical volume then used xfs_grow to increase the filesystem itself. That was the whole reason behind using LVM so this growth can be done on a live system without requiring repartitioning and such. I did read today that growing an XFS is not necessarily something we should be doing? Some posts even suggest that LVM and XFS shouldn't be mixed together. Not sure how to separate truth from fiction. > The only thing I can say is that xfs is going to depend on the storage telling > the truth about completed IOs...

I never specified the option on command line or in /etc/fstab at any rate for what that is worth.
