I attempted to work out if this fix is in the latest code, but it has
changed radically, someone with some more experience with the dump code
would have to say if this fix is now present or not. I suspect not since
we are only at 1.1.7:
xfsdump-1.1.7 (18 October 2001)
- xfsrestore -t will no longer fail if the current working
directory is not xfs
- xfsrestore will no longer issue (harmless) warnings related
to space pre-allocation if it is writing to a non-xfs
filesystem
