      Description of problem:

      xfsdump/xfsrestore: suggest recovery for false roots may be possible using -x

      Description of problem:

      Some versions of xfsdump may produce archives that cannot be restored correctly
      problems with bind mounts identified in Bug 1698057, a fix to restore these
      archives was made in Bug 2034327.

      This fix uses a new option `-x` to allow archives to be restored, unfortunately
      for the case where an archive causes xfsrestore to fail with an assert there's
      no direction given to the user that recovery may be possible.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      xfsdump-3.1.10-1.el9.x86_64

      Steps to Reproduce:
      Using the xfsdump attached to the bz

      mkdir /tmp/test
      xfsrestore -f bind_mount-xfsdump-3.1.4-1.el7.x86_64.dump /tmp/test

      Actual results:
      xfsrestore: using file dump (drive_simple) strategy
      xfsrestore: version 3.1.10 (dump format 3.0) - type ^C for status and control
      xfsrestore: searching media for dump
      xfsrestore: examining media file 0

      xfsrestore: ERROR: False root detected. Recovery may be possible using the `-x` option
