I was trying to dd a drive that has several partitions with several file systems. I am having dificulty getting the xfs partitions on the dd'ed drive to mount properly. Here is what I am doing: dd i
You probably need to use the "nouuid" mount option, or use xfs_admin(8) to change the UUID on the copied filesystem. You syslog will have more information on the nature of the mount failure. cheers.
It'd be really beneficial/user-friendly if some message could be issued in mount about this other that 'generic failure happened'. I've been bitten by this twice, finally remembering the UUID the 2nd

You'll need to talk to the util-linux folks about that, and get the kernel hooks in place. i.e. it's not something the xfs team can do, it requires a more global solution. I agree that it would be ni
== Yeah...I'm running on a tty, ssh'd in. Pretty primitive UI, I know. What wiz bang, user-friendly UI do you use that tells you this? I know my tty interfaces are pretty much '60's state of the art
the console, usually /dev/tty1 however this is also subject to syslog configuration, the kernel can be told not to scribble messages to the console. feh tty text interfaces are still superior to all
