Btw, is it possible to mount XFS filesystem from the file created by xfs_copy?
If not, is it possible to restore file system "backuped" to file (by xfs_copy)? I read in the manual that the first parameter xfs_copy has to be device (not file). xfs_restore will work with that "dump"?
Yes, you can mount an XFS filesystem file using the "-o loop" mount
option and specifying the file for the device.


Yes, you can xfs_copy from a file back to a device. From the man page:
"The first (source) argument must be the pathname of the device or file
containing the XFS filesystem.".

In fact. I don't know why I missed it earlier.


Thanks Marcin
