Thanks!
Yes the log died and was zeroed already with xfs_repair already.
So I plan to put a 64bit head on the volumes and leave it that way.
I asuume I need to still keep it under 16 tb since the fs datastuctures are
32bit?
Thanks again for the help!!!

Yes, this is fine. All the actual filesystem structures are endian and
32/64bit clean. The log needs to be in the same endianess and had 32bit
vs 64bit problems on x86 for a while, but it needs to be recovered
before you run xfs_repair anyway.
