The following fix seems to resolve the problem. xfsrestore -t works, at
least. (I'll try a real restore later.) I suspect the problem is in
endian-converting first_mark_offset, maybe when it contains the value
-1.
Possibly this fix will make the dumps compatible with IRIX, but I
suspect few will mind.
I suspect more since this means that people migrating from Irix can still
read their backups.
I know I would be happy if you could still restore your backup.
Cheers
