that's also what the journal's for. xfs_repair is a manual intervention
bit because the journal should take care of making the FS sane again.
thus the reason XFS, VXFS, EXT3, Reiser and many other exist. Only thing
is, some of the other FS have come from different background and can
require "fsck" type operations, but I think that's more archaic now than
anything.
