A single bad-block rendered the entire filesystem non-recoverable for XFS? Sounds difficult to believe since there is redundancy such as multiple copies of the superblock etc. I can believe you lost *some* data, but "lost all my data"??? -- I believe that you'd have to had had *considerably* more than "a bad block" :-) Mike _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
