Same here. But it was on the root filesystem, so it took a live-cd to repair
because of the utter braindamage fsck.xfs is.

OTOH, you must not, *ever* have a watchdog/power/kernel oops event. If you
do, you lose data transparently with XFS, with no way to know what was
commited to disk, and what was not, and for safety you will need to avaliate
*all* files open from 10 minutes or so before the crash.
The fucking thing won't even output the inodes it mangled to syslog.
