Hello,
Have a Happy New and Prosperous Year.

First of all, thank you again for all your previous answers.

The last message I received regarding my issue was on 12.06 so I should refresh your memories. I passed a --create option instead of --assemble on top of an existing raid 5 array formatted with xfs.

I followed your advice and here is a table of my results so far. I also attached the results of the first combination (w/ -c128 option). A quick diff on the 3 combinations with the least number of errors (abm, amc, mbc) showed few differences. Do you need to see the other reports?

At this point it seems that doing a xfs_repair on the first combination would be ok. What do you think? Are there any options I should pass to xfs_repair to increase my chances?

I hope you can continue to enlighten me with your knowledge and experience.

Thank you in advance for your time and help,
Dragos
