Re: xfs_repair hangs at "process newly discovered inodes..."

Thank you for responding.

Yes that found errors, although I'm not accustomed to interpreting the 
output.

xfs_repair version 5.18.0

The output of xfs_repair -nv was quite large, as was the 
xfs_metadump...not sure that's indicative of something, but I've 
uploaded them here:

There doesn't seem to be much activity once it hangs at "process newly 
discovered inodes..." so it doesn't seem like just a slow repair. 
Desipte there being no sign of activity, I've let it run for 24+ hours 
and saw no changes..
