xfs_repair segfault

[Rui Gomes]

Hello Eric, 

Thank you very much for looking in to this.
Just as a curiosity, I can mount the filesystem and access a lot of the files, but some files/folders will just hang the kernel, so I need to be careful almost file by file tries.

If I could get the xfs_repair to at least clean the filesystem and allow me to browse the remain files without hanging the kernel it will be a bonus!

Once again thank for looking in to this.

Regards

Ok, that's enough to create an image which sees the same failure:

# repair/xfs_repair -n namelen.img 
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
        - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
        - found root inode chunk
Phase 3 - for each AG...
        - scan (but don't clear) agi unlinked lists...
        - process known inodes and perform inode discovery...
        - agno = 0
local inode 131 attr too small (size = 0, min size = 4)
bad attribute fork in inode 131, would clear attr fork
bad nblocks 7 for inode 131, would reset to 0
bad nextents 1 for inode 131, would reset to 0
entry "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" in shortform directory 131 references invalid inode 28428972647780227
would have junked entry "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" in directory inode 131
entry "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb" in shortform directory 131 references invalid inode 0
size of last entry overflows space left in in shortform dir 131, would reset to -1
entry contains offset out of order in shortform dir 131
Segmentation fault

I'll see what we need to do in repair to handle this type of corruption.

(However, I don't think that it will suffice to get much of your filesystem
back ...)
