Thanks for reporting this! I made a change to struct fs which caused
dump to have heartburn. That's an ABI change which shouldn't have
happen. (But this is why I do WIP releases. :-)
I've fixed the binary ABI compatibility, and also added back the
support for the fragments macros (which ext2/3/4 will never support,
but which whoever originally hacked dump/restore so that it worked
with ext2/3/4 instead of the BSD FFS) so that dump can build against
the 1.42 version of e2fsprogs.
Note however that dump is doing some very sketchy things, and quite
frankly I'm suprised it works with ext4 file systems --- or at least
appears to work. :-P Someone should really do some verification to
make sure it is really working with ext4.
I can guarantee it won't work on file systems > 16TB's, because of how
it's accessing blocks_count variable:
#define sblock fs
#define fs_fsize blocksize
#define fs_bsize blocksize
#define fs_size super->s_blocks_count
