Pretty sure, you're running some SuSE derivative. Building the xfstools usually is pretty simple with OBS, I do that all the time for unsupported distros: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:frispete:tools If BS wouldn't be down at the moment, I could look, if xfstests run as well, but since you have a backup of course, the risk of damaging your system with newer xfstools is pretty low. It saved my ass a couple of times... Good luck, Pete who notoriously runs outphased SuSE versions (e.g. 9.3 on my PBX)
