Back in February, I posted a patch to xfs_db to capture metadata from a filesystem into a file http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2007-02/msg00072.html .

I have now updated it with the following changes:
 - obfuscates directory names and attribute names
 - zeros attribute values
 - better support of stdin/stdout for redirection.
 - separated the restore tool to it's own binary.
   This was required as making it part of xfs_db
   required an already valid filesystem to overwrite
   with the restore operation. It's also a very
   small compact piece of code.
 - now has man pages.

Part 1 contains the changes for metadump.
Part 2 contains the changes for the restore.
Part 3 contains the man pages.
