xfs_repair 3.2.0 cannot (?) fix fs

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Hello.

I have a fs (metadump of it
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/p2/x1/web2-home.metadump.gz)
that xfs_repair 3.2.0 is unable to fix properly.

Running xfs_repair few times shows the same errors repeating:
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/p2/x1/repair2.txt
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/p2/x1/repair3.txt
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/p2/x1/repair4.txt
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/p2/x1/repair5.txt

(repair1.txt also exists - it was initial, very big/long repair)

Note that fs mounts fine (and was mounting fine before and after repair) but 
xfs_repair indicates that not everything got fixed.


Unfortunately there looks to be a problem with metadump image. xfs_repair is 
able to finish fixing on a restored image but is not able (see repairX.txt) 
above on real devices. Huh?

Examples of problems repeating each time xfs_repair is run:

1)
reset bad sb for ag 5
non-null group quota inode field in superblock 7

2) 
correcting nblocks for inode 965195858, was 19 - counted 20
correcting nextents for inode 965195858, was 16 - counted 17

3) clearing some entries; moving to lost+found (the same files)

4) 
Phase 7 - verify and correct link counts...
Invalid inode number 0xfeffffffffffffff

5)Metadata CRC error detected at block 0x0/0x200
but it is not CRC enabled fs
