Some of the disks are dirty, some are clean (the Origin boots,
but halt during the boot phase because of multiple fan failure -
a little strange as all fans are running).

I could mount one of the disks after the xfs_repair -L trick,
but it gave massive file system corruption.

Not a big deal, we have backups of everything.
