It is a shame that his original message went out without

It's a pity I didn't know about Knoppix at that time.

You are totally right: I didn't try much hard to recover the data, since
it was a test bed system.

No, I must confess I tried recovering the volume by myself, googling
around and reading the man page for xfs_recover. I didn't seek help from
XFS mailing list, but as you have guessed, I didn't try harder due to
time constraints and the fact that I could afford losing the entire
volume. Obviously, if the machine had been a production server, I would
have tried by all means to recover up to the last bit out of that XFS
volume.
I'm sorry I didn't take the issue seriously at the moment.
