- Hi, I have a large XFS filesystem (60 TB) that is composed of 5 hardware RAID 6 volumes. One of those volumes had several drives fail in a very short time and we lost that volume. However, four of th

- One thing you could do is make an xfs_metadump image, xfs_mdrestore it to a sparse file, and then do a real xfs_repair run on that. You can then mount the repaired image and see what's there. So from
