... and how does this relate to xen? Are you sending to the wrong list
by any chance?

So you need the equivalent of "zpool scrub"?
I don't use xfs, but btrfs has scrub command (at least if you use
latest btrfs-progs from git). Or you can use zfsonlinux. If you're
interested in either of those two, and need some help, you can ask for
further information in their corresponding list.
