I fixed the filesystem with 'xfs_repair'. 'xfs_check' doesn't find any
failures, therfore I am convinced that the filesystem is fixed.

That leaves of course things like corrupted or missing files. But these
are not filesystem errors.

In fact, I believe that corrupted or missing files are the culprits of
the error. How do I fix them?

The results:

find  cpool -type f | wc        2479868 2479868 111820585

BackupPC ran the last night (it was not supposed to be but I forgot to
disable it).

Some machines were backuped, but the output didn't change, it's still:
----------------%x-----------------%x---------------%x-----------------
0 pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup,
0 pending user backup requests,
0 pending command requests,
Pool is 0.00GB comprising files and directories (as of 7/29 16:09),
Pool hashing gives repeated files with longest chain ,
Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (around 7/29 16:09),
Pool file system was recently at 46% (7/29 16:08), today's max is 48%
(7/28 15:38) and yesterday's max was %.
