This Just happened to me yesterday:

A 90 32GB VM ROOT IMAGES stored in one 3TB RBD/XFS volume.
Mounting this volume gave an error, "structure needs cleaning"  and won't mount.
Ran xfs_check.
Ran xfs_repair.
Mouted rbd volume, no error.
Booted all 90 VM ROOT IMAGES.

Have not used EXT4 on OSD's or RBD's.

Regards,
-Ben

Subject: [ceph-users] rbd ext4 vs xfs

Hello,

I am creating a 250 TB rbd image that may grow to 500 or 600 TB over the next 
year or so.  I initially formatted the image using ext4 as shown in the rbd 
quick start guide, however I have found several examples across the internet 
that show rbd being formatted with xfs instead.

I was just wondering, if there is was any major known pros or cons when it 
comes to using xfs instead of ext4  (or vise versa) for the rbd filesystem.

Thanks in advance,

Shain
