After I wrote that email, I remembered what the problem was. It wasn't flakeyness. A drive formatted on Arch Linux with XFS 64-bit timestamps was unable to be mounted on my spare laptop running Linux Mint. I didn't look any further into the issue, just used 32-bit timestamps. Somehow I doubt I'll still be using this drive in the year 2038... Brett.
