Your first email contains only a narrative about repair:

"Xfs_repair completes, usually with no errors found, or sometimes one or two errors."

But we don't know what those one or two errors are.

Your second email shows the output of one instance of a completely clean repair.

Then you found out that you had bad memory, and Dave asked you to run repair again,
having fixed that hardware issue.

You said it "never mentions cleaning the structure tar says needs cleaning"

What I am asking you is for the full repair output now, so we can see what it
*did* say, rather than an interpreted narrative about what it did not say.

Stating "repair found no errors" would also be helpful. Your reply above implies
that maybe it did find errors, but not ones you felt were related. I'd simply like
to know the details, so we can continue to try to resolve your problem.
