and on restore was using the ext2 ioctl to try to add back the extended attributes but couldn’t since it was ext4. (i.e. I suspect it should have been using an EXT4 ioctl for the ext4 filesystem but didn’t know to do that since the source was ext3.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it looks like the error is on the source file not the target filesystem. Bad inode?<o:p></o:p></p>
