Hi Eric, Dave,

Thank you for looking at this.

I uploaded the full dump, captured by our kmsg dumper here:

As far as I see, all the corruption warnings are the same, and they
all print only one line of hex dump. There are some additional
warnings, like:
[812756.915765] XFS (dm-72): Access to block zero in inode 1946454529
start_block: 0 start_off: 0 blkcnt: 0 extent-state: 0 lastx: 964
[812756.915765]
[812756.915772] XFS (dm-72): Access to block zero in inode 1946454529
start_block: 0 start_off: 0 blkcnt: 0 extent-state: 0 lastx: 964
[812756.915772]
[812756.915815] XFS (dm-72): Access to block zero in inode 1946454529
start_block: 0 start_off: 0 blkcnt: 0 extent-state: 0 lastx: 964

Two more log files (one prior to the crash and one from another VM
that took over after the crash). All corruption reports are the same.

Unfortunately, I did not capture the output of xfs_repair. I also have
not captured the metadump. So I realize we do not have much to work
on.

Thanks!
Alex.
