The error comes directly from the libhandle listing routine, which is a straight forward wrapper around the kernel syscall in current xfsprogs. What xfsprogs version are you using? I noticed your xfsdump is rather old, so making sure you have recent XFS userspace and possibly also the kernel would help debugging this. Also can you check using strace if the ENOMEM comes directly from the attr_list_by_handle ioctl? _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
