I can mount the filesystem, but when i do an ls -l or an ls -al it shows absolutely nothing.
But, as I mentioned earlier if I look in KDiskfree it shows that there is something on the drive.

probably in the lost+found directory

If the system crashed and you didn't let the kernel do recovery by mounting it and just "repaired" it you probably did more damage then good.

First let the filesystem do recovery and if that fails it will be a good time to use xfs_repair.

I always do a "xfs_repair -n" before performing the actual repair to see what is damaged. I have never had to use a xfs_repair with the -L option yet.
