Xfs Help, centos 6.5

Post by rxkmir » 2017/12/28 17:35:14

Story: I have a SAN with a 44 tb partition, one disk went bad and I had to change it, I've successfully changed that bad drive and rebuilt my VD. Logging in to Centos I got the error kernel:xfs_log_force error 5 returned. I've done xfs_check and xfs_repair ( -L -p) and yet it doesn't fix the problem, I've also tried to look at different forums but nothing helped. I can only mount my VD for a short time, is there any way I can repair my xfs file system as it contains backups? I would be glad to post anything here that can be of help in troubleshooting this issue.



Best regards,

They say 'xfs_log_force: error -5 returned' indicates an IO error. It's a hardware problem, nothing you can cure with software.

However 6.5 is years out of date and you are missing all security updates since it came out in December 2013! 4 years worth and some of those are really serious. There are also numerous fixes that have been made to xfs in later kernels.

yum update
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
