What happened before the reboot?

FWIW, is this on a md block device? If so, did it reconstruct correctly?

To find out what is in the superblock, can you post the output
of 'xfs_db -r -c "sb 0" -c p <dev>'?

Also, it could be instructive to see the exact errors check and
repair were outputting. Can you post the output of failing
xfs_repair/xfs_check?

Cheers,

Dave.
