Subject: Bug#415123: -R option can't append to a plain file
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 19:54:37 +1100

Package: xfsdump
Version: 2.2.38-1

If I use xfsdump to dump to a plain file, interrupt it, then restart
with the -R option, xfsdump complains:

xfsdump: ERROR: media contains valid xfsdump but does not support append

which is misleading: of *course* you can append to a regular file if
there's space on the filesystem.
