At least some progress. I guess you still have some errors in your log. We
will need to find out what is going on here.

Have you tried running a xfs_repair on it? The last time you lost your
root inode. Let's see what got hit this time. Have you also tried updating
your userspace utils?

It seems like you are on debian and probably have other packages then the
1.0.2. Did you compile the userspace utils yourself or did you use the
.deb files which are on the FTP site in the 1.0.2 directory?

Do you have it compiled with quotas, dmapi acls?

Some people have seen some problems with dmapi although I can't remember
what. If you have that switched on you might try turning it off if you are
not using it.
