Hello,
I have a CentOS6 system with kernel 2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64 and xfsdump-3.0.4-4.el6_6.1.x86_64
(the latest available versions).
When I try to xfsdump I get this error:
$ sudo xfsdump -d 2000 -l 0 -p 30 -L Dump -f /mnt/data2/l0/file0 -f /mnt/data2/l0/file1 /mnt/data1
xfsdump: too many -f arguments: maximum is 1 when running in miniroot

xfsdump: Dump Status: ERROR
(I need to produce multiple dump files in order to migrate some data under space constraints.
I was planning to produce the dump files on an ext4 filesystem (since you can shrink that), and
restore 1 dump file at a time. After restoring each dump file, I can delete it, shrink the ext4
filesystem to reclaim space, and expand the destination XFS filesystem.)
Why does it think I am running in miniroot? How can this error be avoided?
Thanks,
