After a crash, my working partition (containing things about years) cannot be remounted anymore. fsck does nothing at all. Error is, according to dmesg: XFS mounting filesystem hdxy XFS: log has mismatched uuid - can't recover XFS: failed to find log head XFS: log mount/recovery failed: error 990 XFS: log mount failed I tried xfs_repair -n /dev/hdxy the result is: xfs_repair: can't determine device size What should I do in order not to loose all my data ? I really hope there's a solution even if I got older data. Unfortunately, I didn't backup anything. Please help me !
