>Number: 4223 >Category: docs >Synopsis: dump(8) man page error >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Aug 3 20:20:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Curt Welch >Organization: KCW Consulting >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386 >Environment: >Description: Units for B option is 1K blocks, not dump records, as the man page says. >How-To-Repeat: Run dump on a large fs with various dump record sizes (b option) and see for yourself that the number of "tape blocks" stays the same (it's in 1K blocks also), the "on N tape(s)", is based on a B value in 1K blocks. I didn't check to source to see if it's more complex than this, but someone should before fixing the man page. >Fix: Change the man page (or if historically dump was as the man page says, then fix dump). B blocks The number of 1K "tape blocks" per volume. This option overrides the calculation of tape size based on length and density. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
