Phase 7 - verify and correct link counts... done $ Yup, there's nothing wrong with the filesystem in the image you posted. I need an image of the broken filesystem to be able to find the bug in xfs_repair. Next time it breaks, can you post the image of the broken fs? i.e. run xfs_repair -n first to see if it will fail without trying to repair the corruption it encounters, then take a metadump before really trying to repair the problem...
