I hadnt done anything to it. All I did was reboot, I got the "not a valid block
device" when i tried to mout it, rebooted again and was able to mount it but it
has
nothing on it when I do an ls. You'll have to excuse my newbieness, but when
you
say let the filesystem do recovery, what do you mean? I didnt see anything
about the
kernel doing any recovering.

probably in the lost+found directory
If the system crashed and you didn't let the kernel do recovery by mounting
it and just "repaired" it you probably did more damage then good.
First let the filesystem do recovery and if that fails it will be a good
time to use xfs_repair.
I always do a "xfs_repair -n" before performing the actual repair to see
what is damaged. I have never had to use a xfs_repair with the -L option yet.

It might just be your lucky day, if you only knew.
