Hi,
One of our VMware VMs crashed which has resulted in a few XFS filesystems unable to mount and be repaired.
Some VM details:
-
Distribution is CentOS 7
-
Partitions reside inside LVM
-
Tried CentOS provided xfsprogs-3.2.0-alpha2 as well as manually compiling 3.2.2
When attempting to mount:

Found candidate secondary superblock…

And on it goes until it eventually gives up.
There are two XFS partitions that are having these issues. The other 8 this VM has ended up repairing and mounting properly.
If there is anything I can do to fix these issues that would be appreciated. I have a bit of time before this VM needs to be up and running (which will involve formatting the filesystem and restoring from a backup). I’d love to help out
the XFS project by providing any debug information you might find useful.
