Noticed that i can't unmount my /home even after I exited from my account and
logged in as root (/home is busy). I guess that the data is still being
committed to the journal. Anyway, may laman yung config file, so I wonder
why can't StarOffice or OpenOffice find the file...

I'll try reverting the /home back to ext3. Then if doesn't wreck... revert ko
ulit to XFS.

Yes. yung XFS utility to repair an XFS filesystem (since fsck.xfs does
NOTHING and is documented to do NOTHING). I checked the generated lost+found
--> walang laman. And no error message generated (normal pass lang sya then it
generated a lost+found directory).

First time na install ko ang OO641, akala ko Trojan ang na-download ko (since
HACK should be place in / and must have perms 777 and should be owned by root!)

yes. both local and net-wide install (kahit saan either in /usr or /home).
