If I had a crash like this I wouldn't trust the filesystem anymore. I'd
be remaking the filesystem (mkfs.xfs) and recovering from backups.

I'm no FS guru and I'm not sure what an INO is - is it some structure
related to inodes?
Anyway, SGI (I understand) official recommends doing backups with xfsdump.
This stores extended attribute info as well as other info associated with
the file. If you use another tool for the backups (eg, tar) then you
should still get back basic file info.
