Hi,

_something_ caused a forced shutdown on your filesystem, and there was a
bug in xfs around Jan 3 which would write data to block zero after a
forced shutdown - and that's where your superblock lives.  Actually, it
overwrote the first 4k, so there's a bit more important FS data there...

The good news is this forced shutdown bug is fixed in CVS now, so if you
shut down again, your filesystem should be happier.  The bigger question
is, why did your filesystem shut down...


Thanks for that info, I'll sync with cvs (it's fixed in linux-2.4-xfs, right?) asap, and i'll watch, what happens. ;)
