Package: xfsprogs
Version: 2.9.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

quoting from http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2008-02/msg00225.html

"There is a bug in mkfs.xfs that can result in writing the features2
field in the superblock to the wrong location. This only occurs
on some architectures, typically those with 32 bit userspace and
64 bit kernels.

This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning
such as:

XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem

in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK.
it also blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does
not get used for something else later on."

Please apply this patch.


Regards
Friedemann
