Hi Brandon,
Thank you!
Question: it I have a "dump" archive on an ext4 disk and
I want to "restore" some it its files to an XFS disk,
will "restore" do so as long as the source is on
an "ext" disk? Or does "restore" even care as long as it
can the archive file?
Many thanks,

Since dump works at the inode-level, I am doubtful that you completely
restore individual files from one filesystem type to another.
It might work, but you'll certainly loose filesystem specific
attributes (e.g. ACLs).

Hi Brandon,
I am finding all the web that ext4 can not be converted to xfs.
You have to wipe and reinstall. I was just wondering how I was
going to get my stuff back from my ext4 dump disks. Maybe
I will have to do a mass tar ball?
