It might be interesting to see what the kernel says in it's log (output of dmesg command) - please attach that here. Ultimately the solution is going to be to get newer xfsprogs anyway. There have been quite a few fixes to xfs_repair since the version present in 12.3. If you don't want to update the whole distro (although I'd suggest to do so to get security fixes etc.), you can just install xfsprogs from the development repository at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/openSUSE_12.3/x86_64/. If you still see the problem with the newest xfsprogs, than I will look into it further. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will attach the new output plus dmesg as requested. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904764 --- Comment #8 from Jan Kara <jack@suse.com> --- So the kernel log shows that the file is actually in the ext4 filesystem, not XFS - can you clarify? Also it shows that the problem is actually in the disk itself - it's reporting medium errors. I'd verify smart data (smartctl -a), in particular number of relocated sectors. It may be that the drive is nearing end of life... Anyway there doesn't seem much I can do. I'm leaving this bug open for the XFS vs ext4 clarification. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
