Kernel 2.6.29.4 does not exhibit this problem:
xfsdump: estimated dump size: 8694781376 bytes xfsdump: creating dump session media file 0 (media 0, file 0) xfsdump: dumping ino map xfsdump: dumping directories xfsdump: dumping non-directory files xfsdump: ending media file xfsdump: media file size 8294709848 bytes xfsdump: dump size (non-dir files) : 8208863560 bytes xfsdump: dump complete: 102 seconds elapsed xfsdump: Dump Status: SUCCESS
XFS(?) bug in 2.6.30.
Justin.
