As far as I understand, you are talking about two independent
machines here, without a shared storage device. XFS journals
metadata only, which means changes to file *content* are not
reflected in the log. xfs_logprint(8) would get you metadata
changes only, which are worthless on the other machine without
file data. Not to mention that xfs_logprint(8) can print the
*actual* log entries only, which means that changes that happened
before a log wrap cannot be "remembered".
