Description:
Based on the information from partclone official website, it should support xfs and jfs file system backup(in addition I check the sourse code). But arch's build is lack of partclone.xfs and partclone.jfs. I hope this defect would be patched soon and I'm glad to be of help. Thanks a lot!

Additional info:
package version: 0.2.69-1

official website: partclone.org

Steps to reproduce:
The package should contain partclone.jfs and partclone.xfs but it's not.
This task depends upon

These are not included because partclone does not compile with these enabled; try it yourself with --enable-jfs --enable-xfs and if you can find what needs to be done to fix the issues, let me know. I've not had the time or motivation to investigate what might be wrong as I don't use these file systems, and you are the first to ask.

Upstream say xfsprogs and jfsutils need to be patched for these to work in partclone. They say they have submitted patches [1] upstream but they have not been accepted yet.
