Just out of interest, I've got a few XFS volumes that were created 24 months
ago on a machine that I upgraded to 2.6.17 about a month ago. I haven't seen
any crashes so far.
Assuming I get the newest XFS repair tools on there, what's the disadvantage
of repairing versus creating a new filesystem? What special circumstances are
required to cause a crash?
