I updated xfsprogs to the latest version (cvs checkout) and it solved

So I guess it doesn't matter if I do the image either using dd or xfsdump.
I'd prefer dd since I get a lot of issues trying to compile xfsprogs under Irix.

Assuming that I get an image using dd, would a simple mount command suffice
to use the xfs utils ? :
$ mount -t xfs -o loop disk.img /mnt

Or there are some intermediate steps that I need to take in order to
mount an xfs disk
image file on Linux ?
