Fedora xfs can't open files

Greetings everyone,

I'm hoping someone else may have run in to this issue already.  I have a Fedora system using xfs as the file system.  About two months ago we had a power outage and the system seemed to come up fine (not sure if this could be related but making it noted).  Two days ago it was noticed that some files couldn't be opened or read in one specific tree.  There are other directories on this file system that work fine but files within several directories are not able to be read, they can be renamed and have the attributes changed just fine but I can't copy, md5sum or anything on the files.

I took the system down, and did a xfs_check on the file systems and it found no problems. It seems like they are in a locked state but not able to access them in any way.  Has any one seen this problem before or can give me any ideas on how to troubleshoot?  I did try mapfile which says it doesn't have a valid identifier for the file.

Thanks in advance


James
