Where did you get a newer set of xfs tools than what comes from the Ubuntu repo? I show the following versions: $ dpkg -l|grep xfs ii xfsdump 3.0.4 Administrative utilities for the XFS filesys ii xfsprogs 3.1.0ubuntu1 Utilities for managing the XFS filesystem Sincerely, -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
