Hi,

I had a raid failure at work that ended up corrupting an xfs filesystem the tail of the xfs_repair command looks like the below. I was able to generate a metadata dump but is there a point to making it available?

It does crash repeatedly at the same place

(I'm not subscribed to the list, so could you reply directly as well?)

disconnected inode 15276, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15277, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15278, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15279, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15280, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15281, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15282, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15283, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15284, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15286, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15287, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15288, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15289, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15290, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15291, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15292, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15293, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15294, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15295, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 15360, moving to lost+found

Hi Diane,

Probably best to reformat and restore from a backup at this point. I'm notorious for my views on xfs_repair but most folks here will agree that in the case where there has been a major underlying array failure, there is not much it can do to help. Better to just mount ro,noreplaylog and get what you can in these sorts of scenarios, IMO.

"Did you try the latest copy of xfs_repair"? Sometimes it will get further or not crash, but it likely will still maul whatever's left of your filesystem.

Best of luck,

Sean

Hello,

Yes, I had my doubts about that there's anything reasonable one could do after part of the file system was randomized. I'll trying updating to xfsprogs 3.2.1 and see if that does any better.

Thank you for the advice.

Yes - you didn't mention which version you used, but I'd definitely try something current. The bug rings a bell, maybe fixed now.

To be safe, you can always make an xfs_metadump image (use -o to not obfuscate filenames for convenience), xfs_mdrestore that, and point repair at that fs image. Then you'll see what it *would* do before you *do* do. ;)

But yeah, depending on the damage done to the storage, you may be in trouble that repair can't help with. Depends on the failure, though.

Did you try the very latest xfs_repair?

I grabbed the one out of debian unstable (3.2.1), verified that it was your latest release and used that. I didn't try building the version in git.

It did get much further than version 3.1.7+b1 (debian stable)

If you want to make a metadata image, compress it, and send it my way I'd be glad to look at it - I've been doing some repair work lately.

Huh.

I'd managed to make a metadump using the 3.1.7 version of the tools. Then I tried to run xfs_repair on the partition, and now xfs_metadump is segfaulting on the partition.

Would the older metadata dump be useful?

I'd need to rebuild xfsprogs before the stack trace would be useful... debian likes to strip the symbols and they didn't make a -dbg package.

sure. Compress it & send me a private note with it attached (or with a location if it's too big to email)
