It was a 1 TB directory with lots of small and semi-large files, and yes, that may have been too much for this Rpi. I spoke to Eric Sandeen on IRC and he suspected the same. > See xfs_repair -L option. Yes, that's what I did in the end :-\ After the fsck was finished, the 1 TB directory was still there (the "rm" managed to remove ~300 GB or so) and I removed the rest on a larger machine, so it's all good for now.
