Subject: xfs_repair segfault + debug info
Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 15:03:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <556871CD.6090507@pml.ac.uk> (raw)
We recently had a 180TB XFS filesystem go down after following some
ill-considered advice from a Dell tech (re-onlining a maybe-failed disk,
which one might think was ok..). It's not irreplaceable data, but
xfs_repair segfaults when trying to fix up and I thought that might be
of interest here to help fix the segfault. We're not expecting to
recover the data, though it would be nice.
Partial logs & backtraces of xfs_repair runs using the latest Centos-7
xfsprogs package and also run with the xfs_repair built from the git
master, copies of core dumps and a metadump are at:
https://rsg.pml.ac.uk/shared_files/mggr/xfs_segfault
Maximum memory use was only about 1GB by the time of the crash, and
there was 120GB+ of swap available, so I don't think that was an issue.
The command was "xfs_repair -v /dev/md0 -t 60 -P".
Run time is about 2 hours to a crash and we'll probably want to wipe and
rebuild the server next week sometime. Happy to run tests or gather
more info in the meantime though!
Please let me know if there's anything else that would be useful.
Cheers,
Mike.
