We haven't merged all the online repair code yet so it is not yet
available to use. Please close the bug and monitor the upstream XFS
list to find out when the repair code is fully merged and enabled
at runtime.

FWIW, it is far better to send a message to the mailing list
(linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org) to find out what the status of something
is than it is to raise a bug just to ask a question about support...
