Running xfs_repair with the -L option will have zeroed the log so you have
likely lost some recent metadata transactions. -L is dangerous.

^^^^^^^^^^
You know the inode number now. It has one extent. It is using 0 blocks which
is why you're having trouble. You could use 'find' to find that file.

Does a subsequent xfs_repair (without -L) find the inode and fix it? If not we
have a bug in xfs_repair. I recommend you try with the latest and greatest
version which you can find here: git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/cmds/xfsprogs.git

A metadump is the best option. How big?
