Try unmounting and remounting the filesystem, and see if the various

problem for me very recently, though I'm on kernel 2.6.34.1 and xfsprogs
2.9.8.
Cheers, that got rid of most of it, there is still a slight
discrepency  (50 extra fragments) which I can live with.
xfs_db used buffered IO on the block device, which is not coherent
with the filesystem. If you are using it on an active filesystem,
then running "echo 1>  /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" before you run
xfs_db should make it read from disk at least once....
Ah, that makes more sense, I'll give it a go.

Thanks

John
