That smells like a hardware problem. What type of RAID is this?
RAID-5, RAID-10, RAID-6? are there any alarms from the RAID controller?
Can you test the SMART status of the drives? What are the JBODs, are
these dell MD-1000?

Smells more like a hardware problem. Check all your systems logs for IO
errors and errors coming from the sas driver. Are you using mptsas or
megaraid driver? Grep the logs with the driver name to check for any
message (time outs, IO errors, etc).

Check the dmesg output right after the xfs_repair. My bet : there is an
IO error (bad cable? hosed drive?) (message from the controller), the PV
is failed (message from LVM), then xfs_repair does what it must do : it
truncates the filesystem to the size of the underlying device.
Unfortunately the data may still be on the drives, but a tool like
photorec is probably your only chance to get it back from the raw
drives. Metadata, filenames, directory hierarchies are almost certainly
gone once and for all.
