Well I've had xfs_repair happily wiping several terabytes of data in
the past, so I'm easily concerned :) But I supposed this is mostly
related to the fact I was running a pre-release.

In that case the filesystem was in extremely poor shape with lots of

come back online. Fortunately recent xfs_repair seem to be reliable
enough.
