ok, 'ls -R ...' takes 40 min. to finish. I'll let it run once a week.
The backup incrementals do not read every file, so this might detect
corruption earlier.

Would it make any sense to run xfs_check periodicially on a mounted
fs?  xfs_check man page says:

'The filesystem should normally be unmounted or read-only during the
execution of xfs_check.  Otherwise, spurious problems are reported.'

I guess you would have mentioned it...
