Well I know from experience that xfs_repair may bite, unfortunately, and that 3Ware RAID-5 really is touchy about power... BBU really is a must. Anyway, here is what to do : 1) if possible, use xfs_dump to backup the whole filesystem as is on some other device, tape, disk, whatever you have available. 2) run xfs_repair -n /dev/sdXX >> /tmp/testfile and send "testfile" to the list. good luck! -- -------------------------------------------------- Emmanuel Florac www.intellique.com --------------------------------------------------
