And the error in dmesg is?

xfs_check is deprecated, please use "xfs_repair -n" instead.

Ok, so you went immediately for the big hammer. There's the
possibility that might not be able to recover your filesystem from
whatever went wrong now that the log has been zeroed.

I'm guessing it can't find or validate the primary superblock, so
it's looking for a secondary superblock. Please post the output of
the running repair so we can see exactly what it is doing.

Also we need more information about your problem - why did the
machine reboot? what's your storage configuration? You hardware,
etc.

That's an old version of xfsprogs - you might want to start by
upgrading it to 3.11...
