Problem with xfs devices

Problem with xfs devices

[Jürgen Fischer]

Hi,

I have some problems with xfs devices which I can't mount and hope you 
can help me.

I have the devices md1, md5, md6, md7, md8 on a Root-Server by a german 
provider with SuSE linux 10.2. I've made yesterday evening an online 
update which updates the kernel and wants a reboot after that. Since 
that no rebbot is possible, no help available from provider.
The devices md1, md5 and md8 I can mount without problems. But if i try 
to mount md6 or md7 I got the following messages on the screen:

rescue:~# mount /dev/md6 /mnt
Killed
rescue:~#
Message from syslogd@rescue at Tue Mar 11 00:48:37 2008 ...
rescue kernel: Oops: 0000 [2] SMP

Message from syslogd@rescue at Tue Mar 11 00:48:37 2008 ...
rescue kernel: CR2: 0000000000000008

No xfs_check or xfs_repair is possible. I got this messages:

rescue:~# xfs_check -v /dev/md6
ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to
be replayed.  Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before
re-running xfs_check.  If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use
the xfs_repair -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.
Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount
of the filesystem before doing this.
rescue:~#

I can start after that the xfs_repair -L command but nothing is happend. 
I wait 30 minutes or so an tra to kill the process - impossible. I must 
restart my rescue system.

I would be great if you can help me.

Regards

Juergen

type "dmesg" to get the whole oops.
