[PATCH v3] xfsrestore: suggest -x rather than assert for false roots

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we're going to have a fix for false root problems its a good idea to
let people know that there's a way to recover, error out with a useful
message that mentions the `-x` option rather than just assert.

Before

  xfsrestore: searching media for directory dump
  xfsrestore: reading directories
  xfsrestore: tree.c:757: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth' failed.
  Aborted

After

  xfsrestore: ERROR: tree.c:791: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth` failed.
  xfsrestore: ERROR: False root detected. Recovery may be possible using the `-x` option
  Aborted
