hm, but how is the OP supposed to get his fs checked? as i understand it
he has successfully run a 8TB xfs in 32bit. now it's somehow corrupt and
the log was not replayed yet. but now he's forced to use a 64bit machine
to make xfs_repair work (which takes up > 4GB of memory). so he *has* to
switch from 32bit to 64bit with an unclean fs :-\
