Sometimes, on systems formatted with xfs, backup processing has exceeded the actual data, but this happens rarely

Summary

Occasionally, when backing up XFS file systems on Linux using ActiveImage Protector 2018, it may incorrectly calculate the number of allocated sectors. This can result in backing up more sectors than the actual data in use. For instance, a 100 GB XFS partition with only 10 GB allocated might be backed up as much as 80 GB instead of the expected 10 GB.

Cause

We are investigating the cause.
