May 18, 20224 yr I was told there might be corruption on disk 4 and to check the filesystem. I followed all the tips but disk 4 barely had any files on it and at the time it took like 10 seconds. I didn't see anything saying ERROR or giving me any corrections to do. I ran the -nv command for the check. Can someone tell me what I should be looking for to know if there's something I need to fix?
May 18, 20224 yr Community Expert With -n nothing will be done, also the xfs_repair output doesn't always make it clear that corruption was found, unless the fs has a lot of issues, a way to check is to first run with -n and look at the exit code, 0 means no corruption detected, 1 means corruption detected, if the latter case run it again without -n.
May 18, 20224 yr Author What does removing -n do? Does that then correct it? I only ever did -nv so maybe nothing was corrected
