Cool, thanks.

That commit added:

diff --git a/repair/phase2.c b/repair/phase2.c

--- a/repair/phase2.c

        }
        log.l_sectbb_mask = (1 << log.l_sectbb_log) - 1;
+       log.l_sectBBsize = 1 << mp->m_sb.sb_logsectlog;
 
        if ((error = xlog_find_tail(&log, &head_blk, &tail_blk))) {
                do_warn(_("zero_log: cannot find log head/tail "

right before the call to xlog_find_tail, which is what found the dirty log.

those various things are:

        __uint8_t       sb_logsectlog;  /* log2 of the log sector size */
        uint            l_sectbb_log;   /* log2 of sector size in bbs */
        int             l_sectBBsize;   /* size of log sector in 512 byte chunks */

The hunk above sticks out as odd, because it was already set a different way about
12 lines prior:

        log.l_sectBBsize  = BTOBB(x.lbsize);

And "indeed" as Dave might say, ;) - l_sectBBsize is supposed to be in
512-byte units (i.e. 1 for 512, 8 for 4k), but it's coming out as 4096
because it's taking sb_logsectlog - describing byte units - and using it to get
something in sector units.

It still accidentally works for 512-byte sectors, because in in that case we set
sb_logsectlog to 0 (not 9, because - sure, why not!):

        if (lsectorsize != BBSIZE || sectorsize != BBSIZE) {
                sbp->sb_logsectlog = (__uint8_t)lsectorlog;
                sbp->sb_logsectsize = (__uint16_t)lsectorsize;
        } else {
                sbp->sb_logsectlog = 0;
                sbp->sb_logsectsize = 0;
        }



Anyway:

I bet if you remove "log.l_sectBBsize = 1 << mp->m_sb.sb_logsectlog;" from
around line 67 it'll fix it.

Want to try it?  Sorry for abusing your bandwidth in the meantime.  :)

If it works I'll send the patch.

Thanks,
-Eric
