When xfsrestore reads the inventory from tape media it fails to convert media file records from bigendian. If the xfsdump inventory is not available xfsrestore will write this invalid record to the on-line inventory.

The behaviour of an initial restore may succeed if the position of the tape is such that the data file is encountered before the inventory file, or if there is only one dump session on tape, xfsrestore is somewhat inconsistent in this regard. Subsequent restores will use the invalid on-line inventory and fail to restore files. Fix this by correctly unpacking the inventory data.
