Yup.

Yea thats a problem, still in the Linux/Parisc kernel. It gives garbage with
BLKGETSIZE64. Simply look in the xfslibs directory where BLGKETSIZE64 is used
and comment that out. Thats a disgusting hack but it leads to a set of working
xfsprogs.

If you want I can make a patch for you, but this will take some time, since I
have the source not right by hand now.
