Running this:

And, importing vm1.qcow2 into libvirt results in these "corrupted
metadata buffer" errors, in a continuous loop, on the serial console:
[ 51.717069] XFS (vda3): Metadata corruption detected at
xfs_agf_read_verify+0x70/0x120 [xfs], block 0x29b
I can also reproduce this.
It's interesting that it happens on x86_64. I have seem the same
problem, but it was on aarch64:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1315895
That bug is rather inconclusive. Although I found a way to reproduce
the problem (involving creating disk images on aarch64 and copying
them over to x86_64), I don't know if the problem could be caused by
the way we run xfs_growfs or by XFS itself, nor if the problem is
pagesize / architecture specific or not.
Anyway, it needs deeper investigation.
