Hi,
I'm trying to restore single files from VDP backup of linux machines (vSphere Data Protection Linux File Level Restore - VMware vSphere Blog).
Everything is at the most recent release. When I try to mount the backup in the flash client (https://VDP_APPLIANCE:8543/flr) I get this error:
Failed to get disks: Failed to determine the partition type. Verify that all the disks on the VM have valid/supported partitions
I tried with nodes with various disk structures, but the error is always the same:

VDP manual says that at least ext4 (first try) should be supported. By the way, is it possible that XFS (the default RedHat filesystem) is not supported at all?
Thank you very much!
