<div dir="ltr">Hi Folks,<div><br></div><div>Apologies if this is the wrong place to post or if this has been answered already.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a 16 2TB drive RAID6 array powered by an LSI 9240-4i. It has an XFS filesystem and has been online for over a year. It is accessed by 23 different machines connected via Infiniband over NFS v3. I haven't had any major problems yet, one drive failed but it was easily replaced.</div>
<div><br></div><div>However, today the drive suddenly stopped responding and started returning IO errors when any requests were made. This happened while it was being accessed by 5 different users, one was doing a very large rm operation (rm *sh on thousands on files in a directory). Also, about 30 minutes before we had connected the globus connect endpoint to allow easy file transfers to SDSC.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I rebooted the machine which hosts it and checked the RAID6 logs, no physical problems with the drives at all. I tried to mount and got the following error:</div><div><br></div><div>XFS: Internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO at line 1510 of file fs/xfs/xfs_alloc.c. Caller 0xffffffffa0432ba1<br>
</div><div>mount: Structure needs cleaning<br></div><div><br></div><div>I ran xfs_check and got the following message:</div><div><div>ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to</div><div>
be replayed. Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before</div>
<div>re-running xfs_check. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use</div><div>the xfs_repair -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.</div><div>Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount</div>
