Don't know; I didn't try.  The filesystem seems to be clean now, after two
xfs_repairs with an intervening recurrence of the issue during another
rm -f *.  It certainly seems possible that the first xfs_repair only
partially fixed the corruption, and the second occurrence of the issue
wasn't a real reproduction but fallout from an incomplete fix.

Unfortunately I didn't think to snapshot the LUN before fixing it up, so
I can't go back and try.  If I can reproduce the issue I will run
xfs_repair until it doesn't find anything to fix.

I did not run the filesystem out of space again.  I'd actually deactivated
most of the Oracle tracing and started another benchmark run, then noticed
that the filesystem was still about 40% full (presumably my last rm -f *
only got that far before encountering the error), so I did another
rm -f * in the trace file directory and hit the issue again.

As time is available, I will see if I can reproduce the issue in the manner
I produced it initially and report back if so.  I believe xfs_repair is now
running clean; latest output is here if you want to confirm:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31522929/xfs_repair-latest-output-2014-03-13-2

Also I've upgraded to the latest xfs_repair built on main from
git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/cmds/xfsprogs; git log shows commit ea4a8de1e1 which
Ben recommended (though xfs_repair -V still shows version 3.2.0-alpha2).
