After a kernal upgrade My UUIDs in /etc/fstab stoped working so I changed
them to /dev/sd* When rebooting again /dev/sdb2 didn't want to mount. I
tried to manualy mount it without success and tried to run a xfs_repair on
it. Got the following: http://pastebin.com/m44d3aa47
After that the partition still didn't want to mount. Had to overwrite the
inprogress flag "xfs_db> write inprogress 0", That aloud me to mount the
partition but it looked entirly empty.

A very nice person, <sandeen_> (thank you), on xfs@freenode tried to help
me. However it seems like the entire disk, or part of it, have been zero:ed.

Does anyone know if it's possible to recover from this? And if so how?

Running Linux Ubuntu, 8.04 32-bit
uname -r
2.6.24-21-generic
xfs_repair -V
xfs_repair version 2.9.4

Hope this information is sufficent. Thanks in advance for any answers
