I had problems with xfsdump program and I had chat with XFS kernel maintainer Nathan Scott. On page blfs-book-cvs-html-2004-01-28/postlfs/xfsfs.html there is these instructions: ""Install XFS by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install"" This is not correct. One must not use ./configure with xfsprogs. Make and make install is enough. Here is copy of relevant messages: Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 11:19:19 +1100 From: Nathan Scott To: Petri T.
