I find it interesting that the two "dumping" lines are different: > DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0s1a (/) to /dev/nrst0 > DUMP: Dumping /usr to /dev/nrst0 dump prints the second line when the filesystem is not a mountpoint. My guess is that because your dump of / took 396550 blocks (around 400 meg of data assuming dump's default 1K blocksize), /usr is not a separate filesystem and was backed up as part of /. I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to patch dump to print a better error in this case. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
