If we xfs_mdrestore an image from a non-crc filesystem, lo and behold the restored image has gained a CRC: # db/xfs_metadump.sh -o /dev/sdc1 - | xfs_mdrestore - test.img # xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c "p crc" /dev/sdc1 crc = 0 (correct) # xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c "p crc" test.img crc = 0xb6f8d6a0 (correct) This is because xfs_sb_from_disk doesn't fill in sb_crc, but xfs_sb_to_disk(XFS_SB_ALL_BITS) does write the in-memory CRC to disk - so we get uninitialized memory on disk. Fix this by always initializing sb_crc to 0 when we read the superblock, and masking out the CRC bit from ALL_BITS when we write it. This same fix has already been sent for kernelspace.
