When the process was running 'top' showed almost all physical memory consumed and 12.6G of virt memory consumed by xfs_repair.  It made it all the way to Phase 6 and has been sitting at agno = 14 for almost 48 hours.  The memory consumption of xfs_repair has ceased but the process is still "running" and consuming 100% CPU:

Here's how another user solved this xfs_repair "hanging" problem.  I say
"hang" because "stall" didn't return the right Google results.

Excerpt:

"In betwenn I created a test filesystem 360GB with 120million inodes on it.
xfs_repair without options is unable to complete. If I run xfs_repair -o
bhash=8192 the repair process terminates normally (the filesystem is
actually ok)."

Unfortunately it appears you'll have to start the repair over again.
