-i should always be in xml format. -o should always be to a file or device that's big enough to store the binary format of the metadata. I'm confused. According to the man page, -i should be "Input file or device with metadata", and according to my thin_dump of "/dev/mapper/snapper_thinp-meta_swap", it was just that, a device with valid metadata. Yet it's not allowed to be used? Does thin_dump somehow deal with the how the data is laid out on the device differently? |
