As for crashed disks I rarely bothered trying to "fix" them anymore. I save what I can and restore what's backed up and recovery tools (other than the undo-delete ones) usually destroy what's left, but that's not unique to XFS. Depending on how good my backups are I sometimes try the recovery tools just to see, but that has never helped so far. -- robin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
