IMO, yes. It has the block number in it and it stops the operation
immediately, so you can look at it with xfs_db and see the current
state on disk without it being further modified. Otherwise all we
know is that an inode failed validation without any specific
information as to where it is.

It's quite a way down my list of things to do before I get to the
"put lots more information in failure messages" line item....

Cheers,

Dave.
