Question for #Linux users: I managed to cause filesystem damage on a 4TB drive during system stability testing after a few system failures while OCing. Whatever the actual filesystem damage is it is it's subtle though. At this time I can't rig up enough space to transfer all the data off of the drive and just reformat it like I'd love to do.
So far as I can tell, existing files all read without any problems. The weird issue is sometimes when writing new files, eventually it just sort of freezes up and then eventually produces an error until I unmount, remount (so it can run the journal back,) unmount again, then run xfs_repair on it (yes I'm using xfs.)
Until such time as I can get all the data off to reformat, is there anything I can do to actually fix this?
