Description Dragan 2016-03-04 14:03:39 UTC
Description of problem:
When booting the newest Fedora kernel boot fails with a message similar to:

Corruption warning: Metadata has LSN (1:16) ahead of current LSN (1:2). Please unmount and run xfs_repair (>= v4.3) to resolve.

This has been discuses on the LKML:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=144785713726096&w=2

It comes down to this:  XFS on a v4.4 kernel requires xfsprogs v4.3


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.4.3-300
xfsprogs-3.2.4-1

How reproducible:
Issue is present on every boot of 4.4 kernel.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Used (repaired) XFS system 
2. 4.4 kernel with xfsprogs < v.43
3. boot

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2016-03-04 14:18:57 UTC
I run xfs as root and I'm booted into it with 4.4.2 and xfsprogs 3.2.4-1.

As far as I understand things, this only happens if the XFS filesystem on disk is Version 5.  Older on-disk filesystems will work just fine with 4.4 and older xfsprogs.

Are you actually seeing a boot failure, or did you just happen to come across the email thread you pointed to?

Comment 2 Eric Sandeen 2016-03-04 14:21:47 UTC
I'm upgrading xfsprogs in f23 as we speak.  I'll reference this bug as well when I push it, please give karma love.
