Nathan Scott,
I'm very sorry; I don't have the output anymore. By annihilated I mean that there were several directories trees that /didn't work/. If you tried to cd into the directory or take a directory listing... or used a file that you knew was in these certain directories then you'd get pages of debug message to the console; and no usable data. I re-ran xfs_repair and retried several times but the condition never seemed to improve or get worse for that matter.
I /incorrectly/ figured it was a known issue or I'd have saved the output. Sorry again.
