Hence this check really should be: } else if (!leaf3 && stale != be16_to_cpu(leaf->hdr.stale)) { Even though that looks *totally* wrong. But xfs_check is deprecated, so fmeh. So I'll go fix that and rerun through testing. I had thought this was fine, but xfs/291 barfed up errors overnight. --D > -- > Dave Chinner > david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
