The following reply was made to PR bin/32261; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mark Hannon <markhannon@optushome.com.au> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, markhannon@optushome.com.au Cc: Subject: Re: bin/32261: dump creates a dump file much larger than sum of dumped files Date: Sun, 02 Dec 2001 20:15:53 +1100 The problem seems to go away if I manually delete any existing dump files with the same name as the new dump prior to making a new dump. ie. the total filesize of a file, usr9 (ie the level 9 dump of /usr that is written every night) never gets any smaller. Any ideas of what this might be? (I have changed my backup script to unlink the old file before starting a new dump now and it seems to work) /mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
