Good!

Can you reproduce this in a smaller XFS filesystem?  (one that doesn't contain
any sensible data, so that you can put it in some public URL)

Or otherwise, see if you can put your /usr filesystem somewhere, although I
can't garantee that it wouldn't contain any sensible data (particularly, in
unused blocks).
