I think that the Gentoo people really don't have much experience with XFS at all -they seem to favor ext3. Yes, on the log - I've seen that when I had to do an xfs_repair and it told me that I needed to mount then umount to get the log data updated. Once I did that xfs_repair fixed it. I never want to see another ext2 (and maybe 3 <G>) system.
