I used to be able to 'repair' ext4 fs issue (when the boot process drops you into emergency mode)... but now with xfs - it does not seem to let me do that. xfs_repair /dev/sda3 or xfs_repair -L /dev/sda3 both say fatal error fatal error -- couldn?t initialize XFS library How can I repair XFS with burning a DVD and finding an external USB reader etc... Thanks, Jerry

Usually there's a reason given before the fatal error line? P.
