The sequence of commands, after digging through the install scripts,

That's bizarre. Can you provide a xfs_metadump image of the fs after

I can try, but it's kinda difficult, as this happens in a VM, where I
don't have a filesystem to capture the data to, or any "communication"
to the "outside world" to transfer it out. But, hey, that's what
challenges are all about.<br>
