October 8, 2025Oct 8 Hello, I have a 3-disk + 1 parity array, each with 10 TB, using XFS as the file system.I started the server as usual, and shortly after disk 3 (ST10000NM0046_ZA24KBAS (sde)) was unmounted. I stopped the array and started it in maintenance mode, ran SMART on all disks and xfs_repair -n. All SMART tests (short) completed successfully. I am attaching the logs from xfs_repair -n.Also try the old one of restarting the served down and up again but and the problem persistsPhase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... ALERT: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which is being ignored because the -n option was used. Expect spurious inconsistencies which may be resolved by first mounting the filesystem to replay the log. - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps... sb_ifree 254, counted 255 - found root inode chunk Phase 3 - for each AG... - scan (but don't clear) agi unlinked lists... - process known inodes and perform inode discovery... - agno = 0 - agno = 1 - agno = 2 imap claims in-use inode 4902619454 is free, would correct imap - agno = 3 - agno = 4 - agno = 5 - agno = 6 - agno = 7 - agno = 8 - agno = 9 - process newly discovered inodes... Phase 4 - check for duplicate blocks... - setting up duplicate extent list... - check for inodes claiming duplicate blocks... - agno = 0 - agno = 1 - agno = 2 - agno = 3 - agno = 4 - agno = 5 - agno = 6 - agno = 7 - agno = 8 - agno = 9 No modify flag set, skipping phase 5 Phase 6 - check inode connectivity... - traversing filesystem ... - traversal finished ... - moving disconnected inodes to lost+found ... Phase 7 - verify link counts... No modify flag set, skipping filesystem flush and exiting.Can somebody assist me?Thank you Edited October 26, 2025Oct 26 by Dosraid Remove attached files
October 8, 2025Oct 8 Solution Since you ran the repair with "-n" nothing was actually changed it just does a dry run to show you what it would do. You need to remove the -n to actually allow it to make the repairs. There is a great spaceinvaderone video on this if you want more information found here.
