I'll start an xfs_repair run with > 2.8.20 right after this post, though... done. now, this used seriously more memory, and cpu, and the box went thrashing. after some experimenting, xfs_repair -o bhash=512 got it going without using excessive amounts of swap, so it finally finished after about 12 hours (2.6.20 needed 8:30, repeatable). it did not change the situation, however. I know I could clean these using xfs_db and an additional run of xfs_repair, but I'm going to keep these around for some more time, in case you want me to have a look at some internals still. file system itself has gone life again, I hope it does not hurt having those strange directories around. maybe it is even "just" a problem on the kernel side, not being able to convert so the expected "form" of directory? sorry, I'm not too deep in the xfs internals, so I need some input from the developers here...
