Happened again, I'm on middle of recovery procedures, and using my laptop

The system did not "die", I could still use xterms owned by root. So I 
tried to use xfs_metadump before rebooting, but it refused, said that the 
partition was mounted (and I know from previous times that umounting fails 
or locks the machine). It also said that it could not intialize the XFS 
library.

So I logged out, and issued "reboot" on tty1 as root. No go, it got stuck 
somewhere, and I had to hit the physical reset button on the machine. I 
have not looked at the logs yet.

I am now running the machine off a live usb stick (13.1 XFCE rescue 
system) to avoid the automatics to fsck the home partition, and I already 
obtained a xfs_metadump of it.

I post this in case you have some suggestion before I nuke the partition 
(rsync, reformat, etc). It shold take some hours.
