All superblocks and AGF headers look good.

xfs_db sees the corruption, too. What is corrupted?

sb 0 is fine.

AGF 0 is fine.

So are SB/AGF 1.

SB 2 is zeroed.

AGF 2 is zeroed.

And SB/AGF 3 and 4 are ok, too.

So, the filesystem headers just beyond the 2TB offset are zero.
That tends to point to a block device problem, as an offset of 2TB
is where a 32 bit sector count will overflow (i.e. 2^32). Next step
is to run blktrace/blkparse on the cp workload that generates the
error to see if anything actually writes to the 2TB offset region,
and if so, where it comes from.

Probably best to compress the resultant blkparse output file - it
might be quite large but the text will compress well.

Cheers,

Dave.
