Happened again, I'm on middle of recovery procedures, and using my laptop
to post.

The system did not "die", I could still use xterms owned by root. So I
tried to use xfs_metadump before rebooting, but it refused, said that the
partition was mounted (and I know from previous times that umounting fails
or locks the machine). It also said that it could not intialize the XFS
library.

So I logged out, and issued "reboot" on tty1 as root. No go, it got stuck
somewhere, and I had to hit the physical reset button on the machine. I
have not looked at the logs yet.

I am now running the machine off a live usb stick (13.1 XFCE rescue
system) to avoid the automatics to fsck the home partition, and I already
obtained a xfs_metadump of it.

I post this in case you have some suggestion before I nuke the partition
(rsync, reformat, etc). It shold take some hours.
