this seems to be a new development.
in the past, i've xfsdumped my home directory as home.xfs in a separate
partition on the same drive and have extracted a specific file without
any difficulties.
now i'm trying to do the same thing on an external usb drive which has
the xfs filesystem on it.
i can xfsdump to it no problem.
then i try to restore:
1. cd into the directory /media/f6.....
2. mkdir tmp
3. xfsrestore -i -f home.xfs tmp/
4. ls and cd to the right place - all work just fine
5. add the file i want to extract
6. extract
things seem to be working:
-> ls
77766469 kyron/
131 pradmin/
-> cd pradmin/Public
-> ls
1766125579 ipflush.sh
1766125536 iptables.sh
-> add ipflush.sh
-> ls
* 1766125579 ipflush.sh
1766125536 iptables.sh
-> extract

xfsrestore: restoring non-directory files
but it just hangs on the last line and we wait and wait and wait.
top shows that xfsrestore is using 3% of cpu so something is happening
supposedly, but i don't know what.
inside tmp there are the usual directories:
orphanage and xfsrestorehousekeepingdir
but they don't want to go away (orphanage is empty) because the thing
doesn't finish.
i tried the same thing with a -V5, but the only difference seemed to be
hanging on:
xfsrestore:general: restoring non-directory files
are there error logfiles somewhere?
how can i troubleshoot this problem?
