Just want to ask - XFS repair or XFS check. Last time I tried it on linux I got a out of memory error (with 24GB memory available). AFAIK it does need a really large memory to check big partitions with lots of files in it. Not that we need it much, but in case of error it is important. So far I got best recovery on broken partitions with ext3 fs, not with reiser neither XFS.
