After a recent Debian dist-upgrade on my home server, I finally rebooted the
machine to take advantage of the new kernel that had been installed.
Unfortunately upon reboot, my first md array wasn't coming online
successfully.

I finally rebuilt the md array and got LVM back online (the VG and single LV
are comprised of two 3 disk software RAID-5 arrays, md0 and md1), the
filesystem wouldn't mount, much to my dismay.  xfs_check seemed to segfault,
so I ended up running xfs_repair without the -n option (OOPS), which made
all sorts of changes to the filesystem, leaving me with 18GB of my original
650GB dataset (1.2TB filesystem).

I'm willing to bet the majority of my data is still there, but is there a
tool to crawl the device looking for files/data?  Any ideas would be
appreciated!

Thanks much,
-Aaron
