I just attempted a kernel upgrade from 2.6.20.7 to 2.6.25.3 and it no longer
mounts my xfs filesystem.
I bisected it to around
a67d7c5f5d25d0b13a4dfb182697135b014fa478
[XFS] Move platform specific mount option parse out of core XFS code
I have a RAID5 array with partitions:
Partition Table for /dev/md_d0
First Last
# Type Sector Sector Offset Length Filesystem Type (ID) Flag
-- ------- ----------- ----------- ------ ----------- -------------------- ----
1 Primary 0 2500288279 4 2500288280 Linux (83) None
2 Primary 2500288280 2500483583 0 195304 Non-FS data (DA) None
when I attempt to mount /media:
/dev/md_d0p1 /media xfs rw,nobarrier,noatime,logdev=/dev/md_d0p2,allocsize=512m 0 0
I get:
md_d0: p1 p2
XFS mounting filesystem md_d0p1
attempt to access beyond end of device
md_d0p2: rw=0, want=195311, limit=195304
I/O error in filesystem ("md_d0p1") meta-data dev md_d0p2 block 0x2fae7
("xlog_bread") error 5 buf count 512
XFS: empty log check failed
XFS: log mount/recovery failed: error 5
XFS: log mount failed
A repair:
xfs_repair /dev/md_d0p1 -l /dev/md_d0p2
gives no errors.
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using external log on /dev/md_d0p2
- zero log...
- scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
- found root inode chunk
