    Filesystem recovery doesn't run after a clean shutdown...
    the "Starting/Ending XFS recovery" messages indicate that
    all of your filesystems were not unmounted by the look of
    it.

    Probably file data for the file backing your loopback device
    has been lost/corrupted due to what looks like an "abrupt" end
    before reboot (only metadata is journalled), and hence trying
    to recover the loop device is going horribly wrong.

    So, doesn't look like a hard disk error to me, and nor does it
    look like an XFS problem. You should be able to run xfs_repair
    on your loopback file to fix the problem.

    cheers.
