Structure needs cleaning

[demonmaestro]

How do you go about fixing this?

 

root@BackupNas:/mnt/disk2/Main# cd Video

-bash: cd: Video: Structure needs cleaning

root@BackupNas:/mnt/disk2/Main# xfs_repair Video

Video: Structure needs cleaning

Video: Structure needs cleaning

 

fatal error -- couldn't initialize XFS library

root@BackupNas:/mnt/disk2/Main#

Q: I see applications returning error 990 or "Structure needs cleaning", what is wrong?

 

The error 990 stands for EFSCORRUPTED which usually means XFS has detected a filesystem metadata problem and has shut the filesystem down to prevent further damage. Also, since about June 2006, we converted from EFSCORRUPTED/990 over to using EUCLEAN, "Structure needs cleaning."

The cause can be pretty much anything, unfortunately - filesystem, virtual memory manager, volume manager, device driver, or hardware.

There should be a detailed console message when this initially happens. The messages have important information giving hints to developers as to the earliest point that a problem was detected. It is there to protect your data.

You can use xfs_repair to remedy the problem (with the file system unmounted).

I don't understand the error that it is giving me.

It means that you have to restart the array in maintenance mode and run xfs_repair against the drive (by clicking on the drive in the main tab)

What about if it's just one file and your happy to delete that file but can't and the error is 117 structure needs cleaning.

First run xfs_repair, then delete.
