The particular issue turned out to be that the nested UEFI host being restored had several disks attached. Since this is done as NVMe namespaces of a single disk, all sharing the same ID, udev in dom0 does not have enough info and messes up /dev/disk/by-id/ on which restore relies because of /etc/xensource-inventory: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 15 14:28 nvme-QEMU_NVMe_Ctrl_nvme0 -> ../../nvme0n3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 15 14:28 nvme-QEMU_NVMe_Ctrl_nvme0-part1 -> ../../nvme0n2p1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 15 14:28 nvme-QEMU_NVMe_Ctrl_nvme0-part2 -> ../../nvme0n1p2 Only the addition of the `tool.dump()` call allowed me to connect the "Failed to create root filesystem" error with that longstanding (in)famous issue, but a few other additions were useful to get there.
