one other thing to try - should have suggested it earlier. unmount the XFS file system (boot to single-user if necessary) and run xfs_check and/or xfs_repair on it. if the fs has been corrupted badly enough in the past (e.g. due to a crash or power failure), xfs can get terribly confused when it encounters the corruption again.

Now if only there was a fsck.xfs and regular checks every ~20 mounts. -- Tim Connors
