My main system is in an LVM Volume Group called Anarres-64-main, with
two partitions:
root: the root system
home: /home
forgot to mention that /dev/mapper/Anarres--64--main-root is an XFS
file system.
sorry about the red herrings in my previous email; didn't realize that
fsck.xfs does nothing. I found xfs_check and xfs_repair, and
discovered many inodes with errors, including (and this is the
terrifying bit) the inode for /usr/lib. So when I boot into the
system, /usr/lib is missing, and anything that resides there is gone.
xfs_repair says something about "moving to lost+found", but I don't
know really whatthat means.
SO now I wonder: what can I do to fix this now? and how could
something so catastrophic happen so easily? It turns me rather sour
on XFS -- this is my first time trying it out, and I have to say ext3
never gave me problems of this magnitude, no matter how badthe
crash...
I suppose I could try apt-get install --reinstall <everything> but
even if that works I guess all the other missing inodes will stil lbe
missing, right?
anyway, thanks for the help,
Matt
