Ah, yes indeed. I had another issue earlier on the same filesystem and 
Christoph told me[0] that I may have run out of inode attributes. 

xfs_info reports isize=256 for this filesystem and now that I'm using 
xattr even more (I'm storing sha256 checksum plus the filename in each 
file's xattr) this looks like it might exceed the literal area after all.

Yeah, next time I'll have to take this into consideration, but the fs was 
created long ago and I didn't plan to use xattr. Now I do but mkfs is not 
an option right now.

Thanks for the insight,
Christian.
