The XFS file system keep what is know as a superblock data and ft in a section about 5% into the drive.

I used SpinRite on several HD that I suspected were bad and they all fell in the same 5% area. This is a media/disk problem with the drive. I suspect the XFS use this part of the drive very heavy, maybe cache of file table. So if you have a copy of SpinRite give it a try. I suspect you have a drive(s) going south. Run the maintance (2) option. It will switch over to recovery if it encounter a problem.

Have you looked at "co de info" to see if the drive is reporting properly.
