Thanks; a quick look at the disk structure sizes & offsets shows no
differences (as I'd hope/expect for ARM EABI).

So is this a regression? did it used to work? If so, when? :)

(just for the record; it didn't oops, it shut down the filesystem and
gave you a backtrace to the error...)

It's trying to get a buffer for a directory leaf block from disk, and
it's finding that the magic number is bad.

What's a little odd is that the buffer it dumped out looks like the
beginning of a perfectly valid superblock for your filesystem (magic,
block size, and block count all match). If you printk the "bno"
variable right around line 2106 in xfs_da_btree.c, can you see what you get?

creating an xfs_metadump of the filesystem for examination on a non-arm
box might also be interesting.

Thanks,
