That was probably the only chance anyway.

I'm wondering about the crash. Even if the log is full of shit because 
of a crash, xfs should not drive to hell but better report the fact and 
exit. But maybe such strict checking is not worth the effort, as every 
competent admin does xfs_repair then anyway?
