                fix it?

  Under IRIX 6.2, get the latest XFS rollup patch and install it.  
  (At the time of this writing, the latest XFS rollup patch was patch
  1768.)  This patch comes with xfs_repair, a tool that can often fix
  corrupted XFS filesystems.  (If the partition you wish to repair is 
  your boot partition, you will have to boot from the miniroot that 
  comes with the patch and run xfs_repair from it.)  Actual installation 
  of the patch requires the installation of one of the recent kernel
  rollup patches; read the XFS rollup patch release notes before doing
  anything else with it.
