I thought that might be the case. What filesystem errors occurred
when the srives went offline?

Interesting. It's detecting corrupt AG headers.

That implies that the free list is actually 232+191-32 = 391
entries long. That doesn't add up any way I look at it. both the
flfirst and flcount fields look wrong here, which rules out a simple
bit error as the problem. I can't see how these values would have
been written by XFS as they are out of range for 512 byte sector
AGFL:
be32_add_cpu(&agf->agf_flfirst, 1);
xfs_trans_brelse(tp, agflbp);
if (be32_to_cpu(agf->agf_flfirst) == XFS_AGFL_SIZE(mp))
agf->agf_flfirst = 0;
So I suspect that something more than just disks going off line here
went wrong here, as I've never seen this sort of corruption before...
Cheers,
Dave.
