Hi Lars,
Would it be possible for you apply the patch I posted to xfs@oss
in Feb http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2007-02/msg00072.html
to the latest xfsprogs source, make and install it and run:
# xfs_metadump /dev/md1 - | bzip2 > /tmp/bad_xfs.bz2
And make the image available for me to download and analyse?
Regards,
Barry.
