The DirecTV DVR uses XFS file system with a real-time subvolume to store recordings. In the process of trying to migrate recordings to larger drives, several users have found that xfsdump/xfsrestore no longer works in this situation. The problem appears to occur with kernels 2.6.32 and later. Here is an example of the process and output: mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sda3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/fap mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/hr20 xfsdump -J - /mnt/hr20 | xfsrestore -J - /mnt/fap <snip> xfsdump: dumping directories xfsrestore: examining media file 0 xfsrestore: dump description: xfsrestore: hostname: michael-desktop xfsrestore: mount point: /mnt/hr20 xfsrestore: volume: /dev/sdd2 xfsrestore: session time: Wed Sep 15 22:38:21 2010 xfsrestore: level: 0 xfsrestore: session label: "" xfsrestore: media label: "" xfsrestore: file system id: def1a48a-e183-4371-b814-317bd7154611 xfsrestore: session id: ca19ec79-c4c9-41e1-9b8b-b70c4538131a xfsrestore: media id: c130629b-ff0f-4acf-92a8-fa7174833814 xfsrestore: searching media for directory dump xfsrestore: reading directories xfsdump: dumping non-directory files xfsrestore: 568 directories and 37729 entries processed xfsrestore: directory post-processing xfsrestore: restoring non-directory files <stalls here> I've tried versions of xfsdump from 2.2.48 through 3.0.4 and kernels 2.6.24 through 2.6.36, and have determined the problem occurs with kernels 2.6.32 and up.
