Allow me to drag the OP's question under a different light...

I have a 20TB XFS filesystem with 3000000 files.  What is the minimum
amount of system RAM I will need to run an xfs_check or xfs_repair or
xfs_[tool] on this filesystem, assuming Linux has been put into a low
overhead state, and said tool[s] has access to the bulk of the system
memory?

Is there a formula available so any XFS user can calculate this
xfs_[tools] RAM requirement, given FS size X and file count Y?
