We shouldn't see sb_dblocks change until log recovery completes the
first phase of log recovery and the in-core superblock is re-read
from disk in xlog_do_recover().

AGF 5 goes splat.

Which means it's through the first phase of log recovery and it's
not failing in log recovery. i.e. we are now running
xfs_initialize_perag_data() after log recovery. So, as I said a
couple of posts back up this thread:

| If log recovery succeeds, then yes, I can see that there is a
| problem here because the per-ag tree is not reinitialised after
| the superblock is re-read. That's a pretty easy fix, though (3-4
| lines of code in xlog_do_recover() to detect a change in
| filesystem block count and call xfs_initialize_perag() again..

Cheers,

Dave.
