xfs_repair: showing "clearing reflink flag" messages in single user mode the first time
I have noticed that when booting into single user mode after a fresh installation of RedHat Entperprise Linux 8.10, that running xfs_repair results in a lot of messages that look like :-
...
clearing reflink flag on inode 50975400
clearing reflink flag on inode 50975401
clearing reflink flag on inode 50975406
..
to replicate -
install RHEL 8.10 (or any minor release) reboot and edit the grub line (e) and add rd.break to the end of the linux line then ctrl-x to boot into single user mode umount /sysroot xfs_repair /dev/mapper/rhel-root
I did find this article which talks about reducing the verbose messaging but I cant find any reference to the behaviour or 'fix' as it does not appear in RHEL 9 (or any OS based on RHEL 9)

Does anyone have any more information about this behaviour please?
