Re: XFS breakage in 2.6.18-rc1

["Jeffrey E. Hundstad" <jeffrey.hundstad@mnsu.edu>]

I did try the xfs_repair 2.8.4 for a volume running on 2.6.17.4 and it 
annihilated the volume.  This volume was not showing signs of crashing.  
So... I guess I would certainly not run xfs_repair unless there is good 
reason.
