[Ilugc] xfs_repair - need help / pointers to recover files from hard disk
I have an external WD 1TB hard disk with a XFS file system. It used to be mounted to my desktop via an e-sata port on the mobo. It started giving me block read errors while auto mounting and I was under the impression the HDD was on way to RIP. It turns out it was the mother board which was on the way to RIP because the DVI port stopped working 2 days ago. Anyway, I have hooked up the 1TB device to my temporary desktop via USB and the kernel is not reporting any error. However, there are file system errors and it refuses to mount. Using SystemRescueCD I have tried to repair the FS with the following: xfs_repair -v -L /dev/sdf1 I see no output on the console (even after letting it run for a couple of hours) and I am unable to break out of the session (Cntrl-C). I have also done ddrescue to extract about 150GB of the FS and try to repair the extracted file - no success. Would appreciate any pointers / tips to recover the file system. TIA -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Using SystemRescueCD I have tried to repair the FS with the following: xfs_repair -v -L /dev/sdf1 XFS fsck requires a LOT of RAM to check large file systems. Please ensure you have at least 2GB of RAM on your system and are running a 64bit kernel and userland. It's also good to have adequate swap mounted -- you don't want xfs_check to run out of RAM midway. I always xfs_check first to identify errors. Then try a dry run with xfs_repair -n before turning xfs_repair loose. I see no output on the console (even after letting it run for a couple of hours) and I am unable to break out of the session (Cntrl-C). USB is very slow, so a lot of patience is required :-) Or hook up the HDD to your internal SATA controller and rerun fsck. xfs_repair is probably stuck on kernel IO so Control-C is not stopping it. If you don't see any disk activity, it should be safe to reboot the box and try the above. I have also done ddrescue to extract about 150GB of the FS and try to repair the extracted file - no success. Do you have a full image of the XFS partition? What is the size of your XFS partition. If you have LVM setup, suggest that you create a snapshot before running xfs_* so you can revert in case things do not go as planned. Not to discourage you but my experience in recovering XFS has mostly met with limited success. xfs_repair renames the files with their inode numbers and generally creates a mess. I've often had to reinstall IRIX after a file system corruption. XFS requires stable hardware and power to function well. Further more, for single disk setups, the performance advantages of XFS over other file systems is not all that significant. So for removable disks, it's highly recommended that you consider ext3/ext4 in future. - Raja ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] xfs_repair - need help / pointers to recover files from hard disk
An update. I was extremely lucky - the hard disk started co-operating [1] and I was able to repair the XFS FS with xfs_check and xfs_repair. The FS mounted w/o errors but started giving read errors after about 95% completion of rsync. Thereafter, through multiple iterations of xfs_check and xfs_repair sessions I have been able to recover close to 99% of my files. The HDD is definitely going back to WDC for replacement.
