Yeah, I think we need to split that long line, too. i.e:

XFS (loop0): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_sb_read_verify+0x118/0x150 [xfs], block 0x0.
XFS (loop0): Please unmount and run xfs_repair.
XFS (loop0): First 64 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer contains:
ffff88022bab0000: 58 46 53 42 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00  XFSB............
ffff88022bab0010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
ffff88022bab0020: 73 df 07 64 a6 50 4d 5b 8d eb 2c 06 a1 ed e3 5c  s..d.PM[..,....\
ffff88022bab0030: 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80  ................
XFS (loop0): SB validate failed with error 117.

Cheers,

Dave.
