I needed to restore something from my backups, an external hard disk 
that is kept separately, always disconnected until I really need it. 

But the file system refused to be mounted: "structure needs cleaning," 
it said.

I googled and didn't find much hope about it. I followed what little 
advice I found: I ran xfs_repair and it didn't work. So I ran it 
again with -L and it worked, but the software itself warned me that 
some files could not be recovered. I'll never know which ones.

I always liked XFS and thought those dreaded days of file system 
corruption and lost files were far behind. So my only question is: 
Why does that happen? The disk is not even used 99% of the time.
How does an XFS file system go belly up just like that?

TIA
