Unmountable: Wrong or No File System after data rebuild

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I recently had a disk (Disk 8, sdp, dm-7) fall out of my array with the error "Unmountable: Wrong or No File System". At first, I just attempted normal data rebuild after removing and re-adding the disk to the array, with the hopes that this would fix my problem. Unfortunately, even after the rebuild was successful, I get the same error:
 

UNRAID  emhttpd: shcmd (9411): mkdir -p /mnt/disk8
UNRAID  emhttpd: shcmd (9412): mount -t xfs -o noatime,nouuid /dev/mapper/md8 /mnt/disk8
UNRAID kernel: XFS (dm-7): Mounting V5 Filesystem
UNRAID kernel: XFS (dm-7): Corruption warning: Metadata has LSN (18:4) ahead of current LSN (15:2351740). Please unmount and run xfs_repair (>= v4.3) to resolve.
UNRAID kernel: XFS (dm-7): log mount/recovery failed: error -22
UNRAID kernel: XFS (dm-7): log mount failed
UNRAID root: mount: /mnt/disk8: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/md8, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
UNRAID root:        dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
UNRAID  emhttpd: shcmd (9412): exit status: 32
UNRAID  emhttpd: /mnt/disk8 mount error: Wrong or no file system


I can tell that this probably has something to do with the xfs recovery logs being corrupt as if I bypass them I am able to mount it (I've only done ro mounts as to not further mess with the data). In doing my mount, I can see that my data appears intact on the disk:
 

root@UNRAID:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdp1 decrypted_disk
Enter passphrase for /dev/sdp1: 
root@UNRAID:~# mount -o ro,norecovery /dev/mapper/decrypted_disk /tmp/recovery/
root@UNRAID:~# ls /tmp/recovery/
Lxxxxs/  Nxxxxxd/  Wxxxxs/  WxxxxM/  bxxxxs/  mxxc/  pxxxxs/  pxxxx/  sxxxxxxr/  system/  wxxxxs/  yxxxxxl/


I'm guessing the first thing I should do is make a copy of this disk. But I'm also wondering if there's a faster avenue I can take while still keeping my data intact.

How do I get out of this state? It should be noted that I think this was caused by an unclean shutdown at some point, I had a couple as I had a bad NIC that was freezing up my system. Please ignore me messing with my new NIC this morning, I have that working at least. On top of that, my power went out last night but luckily I had syslog mirroring enabled as I expected issues. If this mirrored syslog is needed, let me know. Otherwise, I've provided my diagnostics.

 

To be clear, the GUI does ask me if I want to format it, which I obviously do not want to do here. For future readers, do not format the disk if it's in this state, for two reasons: the data could still be there (as it is in my case) and a format would make parity invalid and thus make your disk not-recoverable. I wish Unraid was able to detect corrupt xfs logs and disable formatting for that reason. Anyway, thanks in advance for your help!


ETA: I was curious to see how much data was on this disk, which helps me both feel better (since the data appears to be mostly there, if not all of it) and worse (since it's so much data):

UNRAID:~# du -sh /tmp/recovery
13T     /tmp/recovery

Check filesystem on disk8, run it without -n, if it asks for -L use it.

Once again, you have saved me! I had to run without -n and with -L.

After that, the next test passed and I was able to stop the array (taking it out of maintenance mode) and it came back normally. Thanks!
