Hello,

I'm having some very serious issues with XFS after upgrading from a
Linux Distro running Ubuntu 2.6.32 to 3.2.

It seems like my filesystems are damaged after attaching them to a
Linux 3.2 server. I am also no longer able to mount the hdd on the
old server that is still running 2.6.32!
did you do anything else at all besides simply boot a 3.2 kernel?

Or was this a whole distro upgrade?  And who knows what the installer
did...?
'test disk' does find the filesystem as XFS 4 and i created a 1.5TB
dump of it to another hdd.

(I created the xfs filesystem on the entire hdd, not on a partition,
so /dev/sdd is not a typo)
is sdd a single disk or something like lvm/md?

what does grep sdd /proc/partitions say?

And

# xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c "p" /dev/sdd
$ sudo mount -t xfs /dev/sdd /media/
mount: /dev/sdd: can't read superblock
(dmesg)

$ sudo xfs_check /dev/sdd

$ sudo xfs_repair /dev/sdd
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
xfs_repair: error - read only 0 of 512 bytes
stracing those to see where it is failing to read might be useful.

It seems that your device has somehow shrunk out from under your fs.

Is there any way I can fix this? - Except restroring from backup? Because this IS my backup!
see ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1910962 for more details…


Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Chris
