Just because the SSD caching device was not re-attached to the system, it doesn't mean the filesystem couldn't have been corrupted again, which is most likely the case, but it would be a nice idea if you check the xfsprogs version you used on the first and second time, just to make sure there were no known bugs on that that might have caused this.
