How was this determined? Did you try xfs_repair on the filesystem? What
was the output? Can you send the output from xfs_repair, if it's
failing?
Also, are there any messages in your logs concerning a forced shutdown of
the filesystem?

This probably means that the xfs superblock is damaged, and mount is
finding an old ext3 signature from a previous mkfs.

Yes, the ksymoops output might shed more light on this.
