Re: xfs_repair segfault

[Viet Nguyen <vietnguyen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. That seemed to fix that bug.

Now I'm getting a lot of this:

xfs_da_do_buf(2): XFS_CORRUPTION_ERROR

fatal error -- can't read block 8388608 for directory inode 8628218

Then xfs_repair exits.

What I've been doing is what I saw in the FAQ where I would use xfs_db and write core.mode 0 for these inodes. But there are just so many of them. And is that even the right thing to do?

Thanks

Can you try the patch below?

libxfs: validity check the directory block leaf entry count

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

The directory block format verifier fails to check that the leaf
entry count is in a valid range, and so if it is corrupted then it
can lead to derefencing a pointer outside the block buffer. While we
can't exactly validate the count without first walking the directory
block, we can ensure the count lands in the valid area within the
directory block and hence avoid out-of-block references.
