Hi,
Just a couple of debug notes in reference to my previous email. These
are
the typical messages I get when xfs_checking the partitions on the disk
(booted in a previous xfs linux from another disk):
Something very wierd has happened to your device, all the magic
numbers it
is complaining about are almost correct:
0x58665362 is bSfX it is supposed to be BSFX
0x496e is nI, it is supposed to be NI
So it almost looks like your device got case flipped on every other
byte. However
if you look at the correct values vs the wrong ones, what is actually
happening is
that a bit is getting pulled high in every 16 bit quantity. This
caused B to become
b, F to become f and N to turn into n.
I would blame hardware here - possibly a cable is out of spec, or has
come
loose, I cannot see software ever causing this type of corruption.
Having said that, your disk may still be bad, because you may have had
bad data written onto it.
