Believe it or not, I was foolish enough to using the loop file as argument to rsremap --resume-job and maybe blasted my (previously XFS) home folder to ashes. Ah well. Should have been slightly more careful. Suggest feature to add prominence to the warning:
The loop file created by fstransform must NEVER be as argument to 'fsremap --resume-job= {...}'. You would IRREVERSIBLY LOSE YOUR DATA!
Maybe this could be raised in the readme.txt file?
