Subject: [PATCH] xfsrestore: suggest -x rather than assert for false roots
Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2023 16:29:18 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230623062918.636014-1-ddouwsma@redhat.com> (raw)
If we're going to have a fix for false root problems its a good idea to
let people know that there's a way to recover, error out with a useful
message that mentions the `-x` option rather than just assert.
Before
xfsrestore: searching media for directory dump
xfsrestore: reading directories
xfsrestore: tree.c:757: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth' failed.
Aborted
After
xfsrestore: ERROR: tree.c:791: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth` failed.
xfsrestore: ERROR: False root detected. Recovery may be possible using the `-x` option
Aborted
Fixes: d7cba74 ("xfsrestore: fix rootdir due to xfsdump bulkstat misuse")
