I have run xfs_metadump on the array and here is the output:
root@slax:~# xfs_metadump -V
xfs_metadump version 2.9.7
root@slax:~# xfs_metadump /dev/sda /root
xfs_metadump: unexpected XFS SB magic number 0x00000000
xfs_metadump: read failed: Invalid argument
xfs_metadump: data size check failed
cache_node_purge: refcount was 1, not zero (node=0x80e2670)
xfs_metadump: cannot read root inode (22)
xfs_metadump: bad superblock magic number 0, giving up
It looks like the superblock got corrupted, and xfs_repair can't find
another one to fix it.
Any ideas on how to get it back?
