Folks, Patch to skip redo recovery is here: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~tuxillo/archive/patches/hammer_skipredo02.patch
I've built an i386 kernel + modules with that patch, and it can be downloaded from here: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~tuxillo/archive/temp/kernel_skip_redo.tar.bz2 Pierre, patch above adds a tunable that can be used to skip redo recovery during a normal hammer mount. You need to set vfs.hammer.skip_redo to what you actually need in your /boot/loader.conf. Possible values are: 0 - Run redo recovery normally and fail to mount if the operation fails (default). 1 - Run redo recovery, but don't fail to mount if the operation fails. 2 - Completely skip redo recovery (only for severe error conditions and/or debugging. You may want to start setting it to 1 and if it doesn't mount, then set it to 2. Let us know how it goes.
