problem running xfs_repair

["Volstan Stephen" <volstan@securities.com>]

Hi all,

I have loaded XFS filesytem on the / partition. When I boot the linux box everything works fine for some time and then I see some messages like this on the console screen.

and also the corrup inode message at this address.

Mar 25 03:16:04 leopard kernel: cmn_err level 4 Filesystem "ide0(3,2)":

d size 2305843009213693958 for local inode).  Unmount and run xfs_repair.
Mar 25 03:50:01 leopard kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at

I booted the system using a bootable disk and ran xfs_repair on this partition and eachtime it come out with segmentation fault.
The linux version is RH7.2  with 2.4.9-13SGI_XFS_1.0.2 .

Any thoughts on how I can get this going.

Thanks and regards,
Volstan.
