xfsdump/xfsrestore can't do the recovery.

Thanks for your advice. I will try the tools.


I also found the article about how to create and mount image.

https://midnightprogrammer.net/post/create-mount-and-unmount-img-files-in-ubuntu/


The article says, the image file created by dd should formated in ubuntu.


For Centos, should I format the image file before mounting it as virtual read-only disk?


Thanks!
