In the XFS FAQ I found this :

XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed

This means that you can not mount the filesystem due to corruption. You will 
need to run xfs_repair and hope it can be repaired. If you hit this you have 
serious problems. It can be anything from the disks have failed in mysterious 
ways, software raid has gone mad, corruption through bad cables/drivers/DMA etc.


BUT How can I use xfs_repair can u help me and give me some informations about 
this because my XFS Machine worked fine since 2 months
