Title:
  tar restore or cp to disk produces corrupt data

Status in “xfsprogs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using xfsprogs 3.1.9ubuntu1 on 13.10.

  I tar'd a disk partition from a connected drive taken from a Buffalo
  Linkstation using

  tar pcvf /home/.../xfs.tar .  (whilst on the relevant dir)

  The tar worked fine (as far as I could tell), but when I restored this
  to a new drives xfs partition, the resulting restore was totally
  messed up.  It 'looked' ok from an ls of the root, but several folders
  down and directories were listed as files, and a fourth level
  directory listed the second level directory as it's contents.  It is
  totally unusable.
