Today, xfsrestore really threw me a curve ball. I am wondering what went wrong. I had wanted to restore from an old backup some directories that I discovered I had need of. I used the following syntax to get the restore started: xfsrestore -J -E -f /mnt/ext_backup/ldslnx01/20061220/data -s shares/data -i -v verbose /srv I selected some directories to restore through the interactive interface, then allowed it to restore the specified files. What it ended up doing, HOWEVER, was to restore every file present in that old backup that was no longer on disk! Thus, what went wrong?
