Re: 7Tb XFS partition lost on reboot

Hi,
Thanks for the advice !
I checked the label with xfs_admin -l :
# xfs_admin -l /dev/cciss/c1d0p1
label = ""

I tried to blank it in case there is something invisible :
# xfs_admin -L -- /dev/cciss/c1d0p1
writing all SBs
new label = ""

But it seems to be the same. :(
