So the first thing to do is get a more recent xfsprogs package and
try that. There's not a lot of point in us looking at problems with
a 4 and half year old package that we've probably already fixed.

Oh, so even if you can repair the filesystem, your data is likely to
be irretreivably corrupted.

tripped over.

Yup, you definitely need to run a current xfs_repair on this
filesystem before going any further.
