=> Maybe more people with 2.4.6-pre1-xfs or newer can comment on whether
=> xfs_repair with the -n option fails. It seems like what is broken is
=> that it says you can't run it on a mounted partition, even if it is -n
=> and won't write. If not, it seems that the call that responds with
=> "fatal error -- couldn't initialize XFS library" is saying that some
=> sort of internal function failed...don't know, I'm not familiar with it.
I came in half way through on this thread...
Why would you want to run xfs_repair (with -n or otherwise) on a mounted
partition? The FS is almost certain to be inconsistent given that xfs_repair
doesn't look at the log.
I suspect you're encountering a feature here.
