An xfs_repair is required. There is a remaining issue with repair
where it cannot resolve some particular types of directory trashing,
but for the most part I believe xfs_repair will resolve this (please
report if not). We're working on improving the way xfs_repair deals
with dir2 corruption atm, so this remaining problem (that funky dir2
offset problem, iow) I expect will shortly be resolved.
cheers.
