There was a bug a couple months ago that would corrupt the superblock
after a forced shutdown - but you're certain that there was never any such
event on this system? What kernel version did you upgrade from? If you
had a forced shutdown it should be in the logs (hm, unless the forced
shutdown happened on your root fs, then I'm not sure the message would
make it out). Since you've already repaired the FS, we can't look at the
first few kilobytes of the fs to see what might have happened...

You could run xfs_repair -n to look for problems, but you already ran
xfs_repair so it _really_ should not find anything. :) check /lost+found
to see if anything got deposited there.
