Hi there,

I have a Gentoo GNU/Linux home file server. This server has a / with reiserFS and 3 hd's with XFS which are used for storage. The 3 HD's are encrypted xfs filelsystems. The filesystems dmsetup links are:

enc-a, enc-b, enc-c

I had houndreds of hard-reboots for several reasons for ~ 3 years and never had problems with data loss etc.

Today though, when I came back.. I saw the Linux server turned off and when I booted the machine I saw the following error msg for enc-a & enc-b. enc-c is alright (files are there and it's mount-able, I see no errors on xfs_repair /dev/mapper/enc-c):

#xfs_repair -n /dev/mapper/enc-a
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
bad primary superblock - bad magic number !!!

attempting to find secondary superblock...
(this one goes for ever without an end until now)

is there any way to save this?

thank you.
