CentOS unrecoverable after Ceph issues

Hi all,

We recently had an issue with our ceph cluster which ended up going into 
"Error" status after some drive failures. The system stopped allowing 
writes for a while whilst it recovered. The ceph cluster is healthy 
again but we seem to have a few instances that have corrupt filesystems 
on them. They are all CentOS 7 instances. We have got them into rescue 
mode to try and repair the FS with "xfs_repair -L" However when we do 
that we get this:

973.026283] XFS (vdb1): Mounting V5 Filesystem
[ 973.203261] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vdb, sector 8389693

[ 973.219865] XFS (vdb1): log mount failed
[ 973.233792] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vdb, sector 0

Interestingly any debian based instances we could recover. It just seems 
to be CentOS and having XFS on CentOS and ceph the instances don't seem 
happy. This seems more low level to me in ceph rather than a corrupt FS 
on a guest.

Does anyone know of any "ceph tricks" that we can use to try and at 
least get an "xfs_repair" running?

Many thanks,
