Re: xfs_check running out of memory

["Fong Vang" <sudoyang@xxxxxxxxx>]

good to know.  Doesn't xfs_check also repair?  with xfs_repair -n, this
doesn't do any repair.  SO the right approach on big volumes would be to run
xfs_repair -n first to detect problem then xfs_repair to fix?

thank you for the info.  much appreciated.  just, curious.  where did you
get this info?
