Are these filesystems mounted when running this?  (mounted
readonly?).  If not, does the segfault occur if the device
is unmounted or mounted readonly at the time xfs_db is run?

Running xfs_db on a mounted filesystem that is being / has
recently been modified is known to be unreliable (the kernel
keeps a separate address space for metadata that is not
coherent with direct block device access).

If this functionality is needed for a mounted read-write fs,
new ioctls would be needed... (and kernel code).

cheers.
