I just tried three copies of a root filesystem into xfs using

find / -mount -print | cpio -pdm /mnt/root

In two out of the three cases running repair on the resulting
filesystem I got a number of disconnected inodes:

disconnected inode 132, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 133, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 134, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 135, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 136, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 137, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 138, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 139, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 140, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 141, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 142, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 143, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 144, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 145, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 146, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 147, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 148, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 149, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 150, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 151, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 152, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 153, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 154, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 155, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 156, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 157, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 158, moving to lost+found
disconnected dir inode 524416, moving to lost+found

I have not yet determined anything special about the files themselves - a
couple are named pipes, the rest seem to be temporary files.

This looks like something to start digging from.
