I just mounted, unmounted, then did an xfs_repair of my filesystem in
the external storage, and it did NOT have any corruption despite the
fact that I was doing file operations on it when the lockup occured.
Strange! The root filesystem goes bork (on an otherwise idle inode), but
the active filesystem on the device that causes the crash (I think it
causes it anyway) is a-okay.

Could be an in-memory corruption. Do you have ECC memory?
