xfs_repair never finishes on lvm partition

[Knowledge Seeker]

Thanks for the help.

The good news is running -P option works and the FS is ok.
The Bad news is that names of files were lost, all the files were moved to
lost+find.
Is there any easy way to recover it, or the solution is the hard way?

Sorry about the xfs_metadump, I ran the xfs_repair, before read all
messages.
If it happens again (I hope it doesnt), the first thing I'll do is send it.

Thank you again.
