About 4 years ago, I encountered XFS problems (could not delete files IIRC) and tried to repair the FS (9TB) but no joy. From what I understood, repair requires all the memory you can give it. I had booted the system in single user mode and left the utility running from Fri. evening to Monday afternoon. By Monday afternoon, the client wanted the storage to be brought online, so I did exactly what you did - backup the data to another storage. > > 3. mounted it in ro mode and recovered all data. > made an image too. Great. > Problem: How do I solve the phase-1 problem? > You may want to query the CentOS general list; there are users who have XFS and could perhaps help you. In my case, time was of essence so I reformatted the storage volume (ext3) and restored the data from backup. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
