To answer my own question, most of my issues were due to using xfs. I
had the old entry in /etc/fstab of:
defaults,errors=remount-ro
However this [errors=remount-ro] option isn't supported by xfs.
Therefore the root fs was being mounted ro, and demons, logging etc
failed and the system failed to boot. I had some filesystem corruption
from the failing drive, and re-installed all the Debian packages.
Everything seems fine now.
