Does "xfs_repair -n" need to provide all of the functionality that xfs_check
provides before it is replaced?

xfs_check can be run on a filesystem mounted read-only.  xfs_repair -n 
can not.

xfs_check has two options:
     -i ino   Specifies  verbose  behavior  for  the specified inode ino.
     -b bno   Specifies  verbose behavior for the specific filesystem 
block at bno.
which are not available with xfs_repair.
