Recently I had some disk failures on a 1.5TB RAID 5 array, which is now running in a degraded mode but the xfs filesystem on this array is inconsistent. I can mount it with -o ro,norecovery and read some files, but I can't read most of them. Using xfs_repair, I tried to repair the filesystem. It went for 12 hours, displaying these messages: "found candidate secondary superblock... unable to verify superblock, continuing..." and finally: "Sorry, could not find valid secondary superblock Exiting now." Is there anything else I could do to repair the filesystem? Upgrade to a newer version of xfsprogs? Is it possible that there is no valid secondary superblock on the whole disk or are they just not found? Thanks a lot for any help, NS. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
