Yes, if you boot Ubuntu in recovery mode, there is now a menu option
to do fsck on all drives.  I presume that would run xfs_repair, or you
could use the option that runs a command prompt in single user mode
and run xfs_repair manually.  So there is no longer any need to
manually set up a special boot.
