xfs tools ie -xfs_admin, xfsdump, xfs_repair xfs_db, won't recognise any file system. Neither the current functional one or a new one. I successfully created a new ext3 fs on an existing partition using "mkfs.ext3 -cc /dev/sda2".
All the xfs tools that I tried reported, amonst other things, that they could not read root inode. I tried 4 different partitions with the same result.
Apart from this everthing works normally.
Whats gone wrong. (it's usually me) ?
How do I fix it?.
Some output below:
#e2fsck /dev/sda2 ~

xfsutils will _only_ work for a xfs filesystem!!

That explains it (although I would have much preferred an explanation that did'nt make me look foolish).
