Hello, Has anyone noticed that phase1 updates the lazy count flag in the superblock, and then writes out the sb before the traversal in phase5 counts btree blocks consumed and sets agf_btreeblks? Seems like if xfs_repair is interrupted or crashes at the wrong time, you'd have enabled lazy count but not set agf_btreeblks, which would trigger the corruption check in xfs_alloc.c:xfs_read_agf(). If you just re-run xfs_repair to enable lazy counts, it would stop early saying they're already enabled. You'd have to disable them, and then enable again to get a consistent state. Second, is it possible to enable lazy counts without doing the full repair traversal, i.e. a cheap and easy way to set agf_btreeblks if the fs is already consistent? On some systems, the whole repair enchilada can take a long time! Lazy counts are a great feature, and I'd like to enable them on some older systems. -Peter |
