Once upon a time, xfsdump pointed at a bind-mounted subdirectory
caused problems because we assumed the inode of the bind-mounted
dir was the root inode of the filesystem. That got written into the
dump header, and a subsequent restore would fail on the mismatch.
An effort was made to determine the true root inode using bulkstat,
to retrieve the first (lowest-numbered) inode in the filesystem.
That approach is now known to fail in the (rare) case where inodes
are allocated with a lower number than the root. As a result, thewrong root inode number still goes into the dump header, and restore
will fail with:
xfsrestore: tree.c:757: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth' failed.
in this case as well.
Rather than trying to work out the true root inode for the filesystem
in question if it's bind mounted, just go the simple route and reject
bind mounts of subdirs altogether. This probably leads to less surprise
in any case, as dumping a bind-mounted subdir actually will dump the
entire filesystem AFAICT.
