Hello -
New iteration (v5) of this series...
Current xfs_repair uses a brute force approach to find a valid
secondary sb. This series optimizes the secondary sb search, using
similar method to determine geometry as that of xfs_mkfs. If the
faster method fails in its search, fall back to original brute force
slower search.
version history:
----
v1: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2016-02/msg00304.html
v2: patch 2 whitespace fixups
v3: patch 2 correct functionality; style fixups
v4: patch 1,2 properly see to style and whitespace fixups
v5: patch 1 rebase to latest
----
patch 1 has some general infrastructure adjustments, moving general
topology functions from mkfs to libxcmd.
patch 2 adds the new secondary superblock search method.
Questions, comments are welcome.
Thanks-
Bill
