Did you try "xfs_repair -V" as you suggest? On my system, it replies
with the version...

No, this is precisely what 32 bits mean. A 32 bits process can't
address more than 2^32 bits, which is 4GB. However I'm
surprised you have this problem; I've xfs_repaired up to 16TB
filesystem (maximum manageable with a 32 bits kernel ) without such
problem.
