From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
fstests has a weird history with external log devices -- prior to the
introduction of metadump v2, a dump/restore cycle would leave an
external log unaltered, and most tests worked just fine. Were those
tests ignorant? Or did they pass intentionally?
Either way, we don't want to pass -l to xfs_mdrestore just because we
have an external log, because that switch is new and causes regressions
when testing with xfsprogs from before 6.5.
