I'm trying to backup corrupted xfs filesystem (that cannot be repaired due to bugs in xfs_repair) on linux 4.3.0

Anyway linux kernel is providing information about dirs and files for this filesystem. Unfortunately some data is causing rsync to fail at assertion.

IMO rsync should be able to deal with anything linux kernel is providing to userspace. Thus this bugreport.

cd /mnt/storage4/snapshots/blade3/
rsync -e ssh -avvvvvvvPH * root@host:/dest/snapshots/blade3/
