Hi, 

 

I recently noticed that one of my disks had this error: unmountable no file system. I attempted to repair the file system using xfs-repair, but it did not work. I bought a new drive, assuming the old one was corrupt, and I am still getting the same error. I would appreciate any suggestions you all have. 

Thanks

Post the output of xfs_repair, also include the command used.

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your help. 

 

root@Tower:~# xfs_repair -nv /dev/sdd1
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
bad primary superblock - filesystem mkfs-in-progress bit set !!!

attempting to find secondary superblock...
.found candidate secondary superblock...
verified secondary superblock...
would write modified primary superblock
Primary superblock would have been modified.
Cannot proceed further in no_modify mode.
Exiting now.

First you should use the mdX device so that parity remains valid, so if it's disk1 start the array in maintenance mode and use md1, second remove -n (no modify flag) from the command, so it should be:

 

xfs_repair -v /dev/md1
