Hello,

As you have noted, xfs tends to repair itself at mount time by replaying 
the journal.

xfs_check is a tool for fixing more serious low-level issues with xfs. 
xfs_check is not fsck.

Why do you think you need to run xfs_repair ?

In my experience, the only time xfs_repair has been required is when 
there have been hardware issues with the controller, storage driver, 
cabling, or with the physical drive.

Generally speaking, an xfs file system will heal itself without any user 
intervention, unless there are more sinister things at play.
