This is odd, I just created a 2621561952 byte dump file here. Where did you
get the xfsdump program from - an RPM we built, or did you compile it yourself?
There are current command rpms here:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/cmd_rpms/
which should be identical to the version I just tested with.
