Hello Christoph,
Thanks, I would try to upgrade it. Could you please tell me whether we can
recover the data, actually we have all our data about 12 TB resides on that
volume which has the issue.
Thanks

Grab the latests version from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git, and run it in verbose
mode (xfs_repair -v).
I suspect you actually have a a volume that doesn't resemble a filesystem
anymore and it's looking for a superblock but can't find it.
