Thank you!

Look like you are right, problem is in Suse kernel.

Here is result of
xfsdump -l 0 - /home/samba/common | rsh vader "/sbin/xfsrestore -
/home/samba/common"

on old server:
[root@p100 common]# df |grep common
/dev/vg02/lvcommon     9432384   8656128    776256  92% /home/samba/common

on new server:
vader:/home/samba/common # df |grep common
/dev/vga3/lvcommon     9432384   8655244    777140  92% /home/samba/common

Difference in used blocks can be easily explained- I don't know why
xfs_restore can't set acls ( I wrote mail
about this problem to list today), but  I setted default acls on new server
(vader) similar to which I have
on old server (p100). Unfortunately ;-) some files have acls different from
default. I'll fix this tomorrow...

Certanly, I'll write to Suse mail list about this problem...

btw, if have another question- is it possible to move info from one server
using dd ? I want to
have logic volumes with the same size... And resolving groups and users on
old server is too slow :-( ,
so star takes several hours to copy files, xfsdump works far fatser, but it
can't set acls...
