What file systems work on defect media?
As for crashed disks I rarely bothered trying to "fix" them anymore. I save what I can and restore what's backed up and recovery tools (other than the undo-delete ones) usually destroy what's left, but that's not unique to XFS. Depending on how good my backups are I sometimes try the recovery tools just to see, but that has never helped so far.
