Does your XFS rootfs _always_ fail, or can you get it to boot > occasionally or with a power cycle? This, of course, could be completely > unrelated to the issue you observe.

I used the same USB HD with the same kernel very well, with reiserfs and btrfs, for many months (running fine with previous kernels too). I tried three times to boot with XFS, and the corruption came up before systemd could start properly every time. I switched to Ext4, and I've had no problem since then either. That's why I concluded it was only XFS having the problem.
