Description Jeffrey Crawford 2003-12-31 06:19:11 UTC 
For users of the xfs filesystem it would be nice to be able to restore the system using the live CD. Since I use xfsdump to backup my system I would need xfsrestore to restore it. I'm sure I'm not the only one to use xfs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot CD
2. Look for xfsrestore
3. Not find it ;-)

Actual Results:  
Booted to Knoppix CD and restored from there

Expected Results:  
Boot Gentoo Live CD and restore from there

Does anyone know what package the xfsdump/xfsrestore come from?  I don't see any reason why we shold not add it to our CD, since I am definitely in agreement that it should be usable as a recovery CD.

yeah, xfsprogs and xfsdump should work. spec templates updated on the website - please incorporate them into your next test build :)
