we have redhat machines version 6.x

we want to fix the file-system on one of our disks

UUID=198s5364-a29c-429e-b16d-e772acd /data_SA xfs rw,noatime,inode64,allocsize=16m 1 2

but disk is UUID

so dose the following syntax is right ?

xfs_repair UUID=198s5364-a29c-429e-b16d-e772acd 

FROM MAN PAGE

SYNOPSIS
 xfs_repair [ -dfLnPv ] [ -m maxmem ] [ -c subopt=value ] [ -o subopt[=value] ] [ -t interval ] [ -l logdev ] [ -r rtdev ] device
 xfs_repair -V

You should find your device UUID in /dev/disk/by-uuid:

xfs_repair /dev/disk/by-uuid/198s5364-a29c-429e-b16d-e772acd

There is findfs to translate UUID to device names.

# findfs UUID=01d91a31-d25c-48ea-a10f-6166ce0f5964
/dev/mapper/SSD-archlinux

So you can use that to provide arguments that expect device names:

# echo file -s $(findfs UUID=01d91a31-d25c-48ea-a10f-6166ce0f5964)
file -s /dev/mapper/SSD-archlinux

# file -s $(findfs UUID=01d91a31-d25c-48ea-a10f-6166ce0f5964)
/dev/mapper/SSD-archlinux: SGI XFS filesystem data (blksz 4096, inosz 512, v2 dirs)

# xfs_repair $(findfs UUID=01d91a31-d25c-48ea-a10f-6166ce0f5964)
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
 - zero log...
 - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
 - found root inode chunk
Phase 3 - for each AG...
 - scan and clear agi unlinked lists...
 - process known inodes and perform inode discovery...
 - agno = 0
 - agno = 1
 - agno = 2
 - agno = 3
 - process newly discovered inodes...
Phase 4 - check for duplicate blocks...
 - setting up duplicate extent list...
 - check for inodes claiming duplicate blocks...
 - agno = 0
 - agno = 1
 - agno = 2
 - agno = 3
Phase 5 - rebuild AG headers and trees...
 - reset superblock...
Phase 6 - check inode connectivity...
 - resetting contents of realtime bitmap and summary inodes
 - traversing filesystem ...
 - traversal finished ...
