First of all, thanks for sharing.
I used to think xfs was overkill for /boot, but the procedure described
is quite straightforward.
There are two things I don't understand:
1) why do you delete xfsdump and xfsrestore in /xfsrestore/usr/bin/ just
extracted to link them to /xfsrestore/sbin
2) the use of df.out isn't clear to me, isn't the dump file name enough
to know what is in there?
