hi folks,

i really enjoyed working with gentoo. But today the electricity in my block broke down (no it wasn't me ;) and now my gentoo doesn't start anymore :cry: There's something wrong with my xfs root filesystem.
Here you have the details:

ds: no socket drivers loaded!
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,7)
XFS: WARNING: recovery required on readonly filesystem
XFS: write access will bei enabled during mount
Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: ide0(3,7) (dev: 3/7)
xfs_inotbp(): xfs_imap() returned an error 22 on ide0(3,7). Returning error
xfs_iunlink_remove: xfs_inotobp returned an error 22 on ide0(3,7). Returning error
xfs_inactive: xfs_ifree() returned an error = 22 on ide0(3,7)
xfs_force_shutdown (ide0(3,7)0x1) called from line 1950 of file xfs_vnodeps.c
Fatal error on root filesystem
I/O error detected. Shutting down filesystem: ide0(3,7)
Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)
Ending XFS recovery on filesystem: ide0(3,7) (dev: 3/7)
VFS: mounted root (xfs filesystem) readonly
Warning: unable to mount devfs, err=-2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 224k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: Not init found. Try passing init= option to kernel


That are the error messages my system produces....how do i get my good old system back ???

Try chroot-ing back into your system from the gentoo installation cd using the installation instructions. Look at your system to determine where the problem might be. I am not up on my XFS but there should be some kind of XFS check utility.

Well, that is what I would do to get started. In any case, your system is not bootable right now, so using a chrooted boot disk is the best way I would think to fix your problem.

Good luck. I will look back to see what more experienced gentoo users have to say to help you out.

it's xfs<something>... try tabbing two times to see whats available.

I don't have the xfs tools installed on my system right now, or else I'd tell you.

Just for completeness. I found the solution. Its named "xfs_repair". Took me about 5 seconds to repair the filesystem. Long live xfs :wink:
