I was putting data into filesystem with slackware install script and then
by coping with mc from other non-xfs partition.
Crash was that root xfs filesystem disappeared "on the fly" and system did
not oopsed, it was working until reboot, but ls in / dir shows nothing.
I could even "cd" to some dirs as /usr or /tmp, but I could not see them
in ls.
After reboot kernel can not mount this xfs filesystem.

Sorry, I can't. This filesystem not exist any more. If I get this crash
again, I will do this.
Thank you,
