I'm not sure about the root cause of your crash, but I just wanted to 
mention that before you blow away this filesystem, you should probably 
try repairing it with a recent version of xfs_repair (like 3.0.0). 

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/

Also, I have seen similar problems to those described in Debian bug 
525880 with xfs_repair not making progress (although I'm running 
32-bit), and adding "-P" to the xfs_repair invocation helped in many cases.

Cheers,
nate
