I see this has been reproduced on a small filesystem, but for future reference xfs has a utility called xfs_metadump that helps in these situations. It grabs just the metadata, so it results in a relatively small file, and the file can then be exploded back into a sparse image of the original filesystem.
# xfs_metadump /dev/sda1 sda1.meta # xfs_mdrestore sda1.meta sda1.img # mount -o loop sda1.img /mnt Should alleviate some of the pain in having to reproduce the issue on a new filesystem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692848 Title: Regression between 2.6.32-27 and 2.6.32-26 xfsdump SGI_FS_BULKSTAT errno = 22 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
