You don't really need to change the runlevel. Just stop any processes which might be using the xfs disk which is probably the myth backend and possibly frontend. There are likely scripts in /etc/init.d to stop things so you'd do something like "/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop".

Do "lsof | grep /the/xfs/mount/point" to check what processes have open files on that drive and shut down each of them.

Then you can do the unmount and repair & reboot to put things back as they were.

I suspect runlevel 1 assumes you're at the console so it's no surprise your remote session got turfed!
