I did not :( The old kernel (a CVS checkout from when it was 2.4.2) oopsed
too when trying to recover that filesystem. And xfs_recover kept dying with
bus error after a while, so I eventually mke2fs-ed that partition (as said
this is a production server so it needs to do it's work...).

Yes, many times (and it worked fine).
