This isn't "robustness" Michael.  If anything it's a serious problem.
XFS is reporting that hundreds or thousands of files that have been
physically removed still exist.  Regardless of how he arrived at this
position, how is this "robust"?  Most people would consider this
inconsistency of state a "corruption" situation, not "robustness".
