| |
Hey Dave/Darrick,
I was stumbled over this last week and ended up recreating(huh!) the fs from the scratch . Internet was littered with the information which I hardly could use. Oh, btw, I did stumble also in old google group where you suggested few stuff to do .
But alas, none come to handy. I have tried xfs_db and it spit out lots of info including AGS ,but..I had a simple requirement , just to replace the corrupted super block with another good one. Which, everyone including you know it very well that can done in ext in a blink of an eye(my lack of understanding and exposure are pardonable I believe).
But I couldn't find an easy way to recover the fs.I followed the repair ..get into db as I said ...
Is it lurking somewhere which I failed to discover or it has been implemented in different way , which is not easily decipherable by ordinary users...not sure though.
Kindly ,point out ,which route should one take , when they encounter that kind of a situation. Recreating the fs is not an or probably the least option to opt for.
