Paging while running xfs_repair is no fun. How much ram do you have in this box? Next question is, is this an ECC memory box? Not sure if you are hitting a bug as much as running into something else like a hardware limit (RAM) or a memory stick issue. Do you have EDAC (or mcelog) on? Any errors from this?
