Your patch definitely makes this scenario work. I 
ran my usual restore-and-verify-script over night 
with the patched xfs driver and it all seems ok. 

Interestingly I see a lot more "switching cache 
buffer size" messages than before - Especially some
strange consecutive switches from 0 to 512 bytes at
mount time.

However, thanks a lot!
