Final follow-up; On Februari 9th, the filesystem became unmountable and unrepairable.
We copied the logical volume to an external harddisk for analysis by Kroll Ontrack. It took their engineers 4 weeks to finalize this; they told me that they had never experienced this much corruption before but managed to get roughly 80% of data back. Of course this was big disaster for everyone (it hosted personal and shared files as well as mailboxes for 5500 users). In spite of Brian's remarks I really think it was caused by the unique hardware-failure inside the server (somehow it killed power to all internal components). In my opinion, XFS is still rock solid (as long as there's some juice) although I'm developing a growing interest in ZFS. -- XFS internal error xfs_trans_cancel at line 1164 of file /build/buildd/linux-2.6.27/fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
