Hi,<br>
<br>
I am running Centos 7 and have created a virtual block device with
ZFS (ZVOL). I put XFS onto the block device without partitioning it.<br>
<br>
This worked very well as storage disk for a VM.<br>
<br>
A few days ago I wanted to increase the size of the block device,
but accidently decreased it by 1 TB (from 7 to 6). I found out about
it and immediately increased the size of the drive to 8 TB
afterward.<br>
<br>
The XFS partition can still be mounted and I can list the files on
it, but xfs_repair -n says: "<span class="st"><em>Sorry</em>, <em>could
not find valid secondary superblock"<br>
<br>
</em>Is there the possibility to rescue some files?<br>
<br>
kind regards<br>
<br>
Markus<br>
