xfs is a little wacky. If it cannot look up your hostname, it may
die, sometimes silently. If your machine is disconnected from the
network and you have given it a name other than localhost.localdomain,
you have to add the new hostname to /etc/hosts as a nickname for
localhost.
If you are on a network (eg, a reserved net like 192.168.x.x), you should
have a host entry in your /etc/hosts file that maps eth0's ip address to
the hostname.
Give that a try.
