Hi.

I'm running a slackware-current with xfsprogs-2.8.10_1. On some
machine I ran many 2.6.17 kernel and one machine is showing the
"directory problem": I cannot get rid of many "Filesystem "hda3": XFS
internal error xfs_da_do_buf(2) at line 2212 of file
fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c. Caller 0xe0ac57d9". As I'm now running
2.6.17.13 I think I'm at safe from this bug and the last thing to do
is... repairing my root filesystem. Unfortunately xfs_repair -d and
xfs_repair -n does not work, and it returns saying it could not
initialize XFS library because the filesystem is mounted AND writable.
What I did:
- - remounted the file system read only: did not work, not even
xfs_repair -n, which I expect to succeed always
- - hacked /etc/mtab to change rw to ro: did not work, error is the same
as before.

Can you suggest me some way to repair my file system and confirm me
that this xfs_repair behavior is a bug?

Thank you,
Enrico M. Crisostomo
