I do a repair on a broken filesystem, which reports no problems. Then I 
mount and "ls -l", and you can easily see all those broken entries, 
which should be directories. They are not repaired. What could I do?

# xfs_repair -v /dev/bigbak/bigbak                              
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...                                          
        - block cache size set to 8536 entries                                   
Phase 2 - using internal log                                                     
        - zero log...                                                            
XFS: totally zeroed log                                                          
zero_log: head block 0 tail block 0                                              
        - 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...

What is your xfs_repair version? (-V option). I guess 3.0.1 or more
should be better.

I think you have created the filesystem with -o inode64 and now you are 
remounting it without -o inode64.
After you created one file or directory with the inode64 option you NEED 
to always specify inode64 option at subsequent mounts or you won't be 
able to access such files/directories.
(Not sure if forgetting to use the option can even cause data corruption 
upon write. Might inode32 writes overwrite the inaccessible inode64 
files/dirs? XFS developers might know this.)

Ah! You're absolutely right, inode64 did the trick.

Isn't it a kind of bug? Of course normally you would mount filesystems 
from fstab, but for a temporary one like this I didn't do that. Still, 
having xfs issuing not even a warning smells like a bug, even if they 
might say it's a "feature by design".

So if you have an external 2TB drive from a friend and mount it on your 
PC, you can't tell if inode64 was used or not? And if you mount without 
that option you could destroy contents? In my case it was "easy" to see 
there are fs problems, but what if such inodes are only used in subdirs? 
Even with this "easy seeable" problem I didn't have the idea of a 
missing inode64 option.
