Re: Free space question

Odd...I get this a bunch of times:

can't seek in filesystem at bb 8861651024
can't read btree block 7/1107492864
can't seek in filesystem at bb 17048932432
can't read btree block 7/2130903040

when I do a freesp with xfs_db. I've checked this fs with xfs_repair more than
once...
