I'm using the xfs_repair that came with RHEL 7.0 post-beta snapshot 4; -V
says "xfs_repair version 3.2.0-alpha2". I don't think I have access to the
commit at which it was built. I can certainly try the latest version,
though.
I made this file system on February 17th, 2014. I happen to remember
because I was disappointed to be working on Presidents' Day :)
