I did use both 2.6.17.1 and 2.6.17.3 before 2.6.17.9... So I guess (hope) that's the problem, and not my memory... I have run xfs_repair 2.8.11 on two filesystems with errors (luckily, neither my /home nor my backup partition seems to be hit), and it find some errors, but if I run it again, I finds the same errors over and over again... I seem to have it up and running again now, but I really don't like that xfs_repair shows a lot of errors on each run. Don't like that at all... It says it has fixed the errors, but I just never get rid of them. Is that normal? Guess not. And is it something that can happen with the directory corruption bug? I read that I needed to have xfsprogs >2.8.10, but that didn't help neither... Best regards, Stian
