Hrm.. xfs_bmap output could be helpful so we can see the block map.  Do you
know how big they are supposed to be?  How much was truncated?

Unfortunately since you don't know which database will have the corruption...
you'll need to get xfs_bmap output for all of them, and then after a crash get
the 'after'.  Is that a possibility?
