We recently had a 180TB XFS filesystem go down after following some ill-considered advice from a Dell tech (re-onlining a maybe-failed disk, which one might think was ok..). It's not irreplaceable data, but xfs_repair segfaults when trying to fix up and I thought that might be of interest here to help fix the segfault. We're not expecting to recover the data, though it would be nice. Partial logs & backtraces of xfs_repair runs using the latest Centos-7 xfsprogs package and also run with the xfs_repair built from the git master, copies of core dumps and a metadump are at: https://rsg.pml.ac.uk/shared_files/mggr/xfs_segfault Maximum memory use was only about 1GB by the time of the crash, and there was 120GB+ of swap available, so I don't think that was an issue. The command was "xfs_repair -v /dev/md0 -t 60 -P". Run time is about 2 hours to a crash and we'll probably want to wipe and rebuild the server next week sometime. Happy to run tests or gather more info in the meantime though! Please let me know if there's anything else that would be useful. Cheers, Mike.
