Maybe I shouldn't say this since nobody is mentioning (maybe some voodo that
shouldn't be done), but I was able to use "xfs_repair -fn <device>"  I might 
have
even had the same problem as you, check for the "bad hash table... would 
rebuild"
subject line from 6/19/01.  My system froze a couple of times, filesystems
shutdown, and did other weird things (files disapearing but ls would know about
them), etc.  I believe it's something hardware related with me, I haven't had 
the
time to run it down yet (I ran the memtest86 with no problems, so I'm guessing
maybe a hd issue).
