Xfsrestore only dumping files to orphanage and not root of dest folder

Ask Fedora

I originally did a backup of my root filesystem using the following command (/var/backups is a seperate lvm partition on an external drive)

xfsdump -l level 0 -f /var/backups/root.xfsdump /

After putting in new drives and mounting them using a live boot CD xfsrestore only puts all files in the orphanage folder and doesn’t move them to the root folder specified as the destination. The process ran and completed with a SUCCESS code

xfsrestore -f /mnt/backups/root.xfsdump /mnt/root/

Any help would be appreciated. First time posting so please forgive any missing details or incorrect formatting.

Hello tallnatt,

what is the output of df -h -t xfs when run in the live environment?
And lsblk?
