Strange. I can't think of any reason outside a kernel problem for
xfs_repair going into an uninterruptible sleep. Did it happen after
the repair completed (i.e. after phase 7)? If so, then closing the
block device might have tripped the same problem that fsck.ext2
hit....

You never know what might be relevant to the problem :)
