I think I've run into the problem listed here:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/linux-xfs/2002-09/msg00010.html

Which is that the xfs file system was created with the old XFS_GEOMETRY
ioctl and all the tools I have use the new XFS_GEOMETRY ioctl.

Has someone written a conversion tool?

Where do I find the old headers to rebuild the tools?

Would something like 'old_xfsdump -l0 - /dev/hda2 | new_xfrestore  - .'
work?

Thanks,
John

This has more to do with the kernel you're running vs. your userspace, not the on-disk format. What kernel & userspace are you running...
