Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org I'm trying to do a cumulative restore a directory from a multi-file backup w/names: -rw-rw-r-- 1 1578485336160 Oct 1 06:51 home-211001-0-0437.dump -rw-rw-r-- 1 262411348256 Oct 23 04:53 home-211023-1-0431.dump -rw-rw-r-- 1 1881207032 Oct 25 04:31 home-211025-2-0430.dump At first I tried "-i" but once I got a prompt, no files or directories were visible. So I tried restoring the full thing: I'm getting 1000's of messages like where it doesn't seem to be able to restore the file and instead places it in the orphanage: xfsrestore: NOTE: ino 1879669758 salvaging file, placing in orphanage/256.0/tools/libboost/boost_1_64_0/doc/html/boost/accumulators/extract/coherent_tail_mean.html xfsrestore: NOTE: ino 1879669759 salvaging file, placing in orphanage/256.0/tools/libboost/boost_1_64_0/doc/html/boost/accumulators/extract/count.html xfsrestore: NOTE: ino 1879669760 salvaging file, placing in orphanage/256.0/tools/libboost/boost_1_64_0/doc/html/boost/accumulators/extract/covariance.html xfsrestore: NOTE: ino 1879669761 salvaging file, placing in orphanage/256.0/tools/libboost/boost_1_64_0/doc/html/boost/accumulators/extract/density.html xfsrestore: NOTE: ino 1879669762 salvaging file, placing in orphanage/256.0/tools/libboost/boost_1_64_0/doc/html/boost/accumulators/extract/extended_p_square.html ----- I've seen this before and was able to restore the file I wanted from the "orphanage" -- instead of installing into the directory I gave, it gives the above messages. xfsdump+restore claim to be from xfsdump-3.1.8-1.3.x86_64 from openSUSE with Build Date : Tue Jan 29 16:46:13 2019 I have also tried this on an empty partition -- same thing. Why am I not able to restore my backups?
