Hi there,

I've a problem repairing a broken xfs partitition. According to the FAQ
at oss.sgi.com I should ask the list for help since the problem is known
as a rare one and hard to debug[1]. The xfs partitition (sda7 in my
case) was mounted to /var. After a reboot the '/var' was not mounted, so
I checked `dmesg` and saw a bunch of errors like [2]. I tried to run
xfs_repair - with no results[3]. Any ideas how I could save the data on
this partitition? It's quite important...

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
