Hi all XFS ML Users !
I'm Xavier from France.
I had installed two years ago a linux server with 2 XFS Partitions.
All is working like a charm !
* Except,
xfsrestore command, that is often crashing (one time on two) with a dump file
of 35Go
Here is my versions descriptions:
- Linux Mandrake 9.2 kernel 2.4.22
- XFSDUMP 2.2.13
- XFSDUMP 2.5.4 (installed by RPM)
My question is :
Is it better to update the XFS programs to newer versions, or update my linux
kernel,

As Hannes Dorbath said, probably both.
The dump format hasn't changed so you can try a new xfsrestore
if that is less painful for you.
If the new xfsrestore crashes then you can report the bug with
details on how it crashes.
I've tryed to find some older distribs of xfsdump, but without succes (like
2.2.33)
the most recent distribs fails with the configure at manual install ...
I wouldn't go for older versions of dump/restore.
