Hello,
sorry for the delay. I don't know whether it is interesting, but after a
xfs_repair, the filesystem could completely rebuild.
Thanks Chritoph. I'm a little bit confused about "write back cache" and
the "barrier" option.
On the RAID Controller "Write Cache" is enabled, "Write Cache Periodic
Flush = 5 seconds" and "Write Cache Flush Ratio = 45 Percent".
My kernelversion is 2.6.16 (SLES10), so the default should be nobarrier.
But i read in the official SGI xfs Training documentation that write
Barrier are enabled by default on SLES10.
How can i check if barrier is on or off?. I don't find something in the log.
greets
Steffen

Hello,
after a raid crash (Raid Controller problem, 3 Disks of the Disk Group
were kicked out oft the diskgroup), 2 of 3 partitions (XFS FS) were
shutdown immediately.
Perhaps somebody has a idea, what's the best solution (xfs_repair?).
This looks like you were running with a write back cache enabled on the
controller / disks but without barriers. xfs_repair should be able
to repair the filesystem. If you're lucky only the freespace-btrees
are corrupted (as in the trace below) as xfs_repair can rebuild them
from scratch.
