XFS Recovery
If the following log entry appears after mounting an XFS fs, is it safe to assume that whatever issue initiated the recovery has been repaired, or is further checking/repair required?
XFS mounting filesystem md5
Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: md5 (logdev: /dev/md0) Ending XFS recovery on filesystem: md5 (logdev: /dev/md0)

That's normal output when mounting an XFS filesystem - if you see more than this then there might be problems...
Cheers,
Dave.

Thanks Dave,
I was more used to seeing:
XFS mounting filesystem md5
Ending clean XFS mount for filesystem: md5
Maybe the message has changed with later kernels.
In any case, it sounds like I have no issues.
Regards,
Richard

Hmmm....I don't know if I would describe that as "normal" unless I am misunderstanding Dave here.
There has been some recovery happening indicating that there wasn't a clean unmount (it didn't find an unmount record in the log). But recovery should have replayed the
outstanding metadata to a time point in the near past
and so no repair should be necessary (we have qa tests which do the test anyway and check that there are no complaints).

Maybe not "normal," but at least "acceptable"?
If it's a regular occurrence, it might be worth looking into. If it was a one-off, with no further complaints, I'd ignore it.

Normal as in "everything is OK - there's no need to worry". Recovery at mount time happens quite frequently for a variety of reasons - it's not a sign that there's something wrong as such....
Cheers,
Dave.
