I have a 500 GByte disk with a single XFS file system on it (EDIT: the OS is on another disk). On this disk I have backup data in the form of multiple hard-linked copies of the original data. After each new backup I delete the directory containing the data of the oldest backup. The corresponding rm process sometimes does not terminate (and consumes a lot of CPU). Killing it (-9) does not help, only rebooting the system does.I tried running xfs_repair on that volume. However, it seems I do not have enough RAM for that (the machine has 4 GByte RAM and only supports 32bit).The location of the machine makes it very hard for me to physically touch the hard disk.How can I repair my file system and/or make rm terminate?EDIT: I ran xfs_repair -v -t 1 /dev/disk/xxx with xfs_repair version 3.1.7.EDIT: Output:Phase 6 - check inode connectivity...        - resetting contents of realtime bitmap and summary inodes        - traversing filesystem ...        - agno = 0failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 1failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 2failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 3failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 4failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 5failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 6failed to create prefetch thread: Resource temporarily unavailable        - agno = 7fatal error -- calloc failed in dir_hash_init
XFS: rm does not terminate, xfs_repair not possible
