Yeah, that's what I proposed.  I just wanted to make sure that adding an
AM_NORMAL_RE before the AM_STRANGE_RE entries would actually work.

But my other question remains: would you consider adding this?  I can
carry this patch locally, or in the Fedora packages, but I wanted to see
if you would be amenable to adding it directly and if you needed any
additional information before making that change.

I talked with the upstream xfsdump maintainers and they indicated that
xfsdump is just logging that it's falling back to a slower means of
getting inode information instead of using the bulk call, because the
filesystem changed.  (XFS has a call to get blocks of inode information
instead of traversing the file tree and doing a bunch of stat calls.)
It probably should be fixed to not complain about it, but xfsdump moves
much more slowly than amanda does....
