What commit did you pull from? Also, a bit more information about
your filesystem and storage will help us:

So AG 16 has garbage in superblock, the AGF and the AGI. How did
that happen? What went wrong with the storage that lead you to run
xfs_repair?
I think I see the problem, but I first need to confirm what assert
is firing by matching commits.

You'll probably have to wait for a patch to fix the problem. The
sooner I can confirm the assert you hit, the sooner I'll be able to
get you that patch.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave,
sorry for the HTML mail. My normal mail account isn't allowed to send mail to the list,
my provider got somehow onto a spam list. I had to revert to GMX and only recently learnt
how to send plain text mails via GMX. I hope that that works now.
The system is now down, therefore some of the details you requested are only from my memory.
The version of xfstools is the one I got with the command "git clone git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/cmds/xfsprogs",
sunday or monday this week.
The story is as follows: my backup file system is on a Raid6 (mdadm), on top of that lvm2 and xfs.
One of the HDs reported smart errors, I replaced it with a new one. During the Raid6 resyncronisation
I got a kernel panic. After reset the raid didn't come up. I finally started it with the '--force'
parameter. After that the filesystem didn't mount. I issued the 'xfs_repair -L ...' from the
current distribution, Debian 7 amd64. During the repair process the command stalled for more than
24 hours. After that I got nervous and restarted the machine.
Then I downloaded the git xfstools version and compiled it. Now I get repeatedly the error from
my first mail.
Two more drives failed, I'm now back to a system without any retundancy. I will only power it up
again when I have two new replacement drives (already ordered).
Kind regards, Hans

Looks good ;)

Yup, happens occasionally on older repairs - the "-P" option
probably helps there. That also helps explains why repair only
started complaining at AG 16.

Yes, the IO verifier is reporting bp->b_error == EFSCORRUPTED on the
AGF buffer, and this assert is firing:
ASSERT(agf_dirty || agfbuf->b_error != EFSCORRUPTED);
The issue is that the initial checks on the AGF are not resulting in
a dirty AGF because the fields that are corrupted can't be repaired
in phase 2, and hence the agf is not being dirtied despite being
corrupted.
The assert needs fixing.

Taking the failed raid resync, the --force to reconstruct it and
the style of corruption being reported in the XFS metadata, I'd
say you've probably corrupted all the data on your filesystem beyond
the point you can recover any of it.
The patch below will avoid the assert failure issue so repair runs
further, but if I were you I'd be considering the filesystem and the
data it contains a complete loss and restoring from backups....
.... which you probably don't have because this is a backup server.
Who has backups of their backups?
Cheers,
Dave.

repair: handle uncorrected corruptions in phase 2
From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
Some of the AG header corruptions detected by the IO verifiers
cannot be corrected in phase 2 when we do the initial scan of the
AGs. Correcting some errors cannot be done until a full rebuild of
the trees is done in phase 5.
Hence we can end up with a "clean" AGF/AGI buffer but have a
EFSCORRUPTED error on the buffer. This results in an assert failing:
ASSERT(agf_dirty || agfbuf->b_error != EFSCORRUPTED);
and repair not beign able to fix the problems it has tripped over.
Hence the assert that we corrected all corruptions in the buffers
is not valid and should be removed.

Hi Dave,
thanks for the patch. It worked and I lost not very many files. The good thing with backuppc is,
that only deleted or corrupted files are copied anew, as a result of the file deduplication
(on file basis).
Thanks, Hans
