Unable to mount device on Linux (XFS)
- by gunnx
I am unable to mount a device on my server due to error when mounting, the device is type XFS. The mount command returns message: "mount: structure needs cleaning"
I've tried using xfs_check and it just returns a message saying that there are entries in the log that need relaying and that you need to run xfs_repair -L where "-L" option deletes the log file but might/will result in data loss/corruption.
Does anyone know if you can access/mount the drive without repairing, or anyway to minimise data loss?
