Was working my way through dump and was going over what the -L switch is used for. I guess one would use this when you are dumping a mounted file system correct? Here's what I've been trying to do, dump all of / without dumping /tmp, /proc, /mnt, and /entropy. I've already learned to use the nodump flag with some help from a list member and now I want my dump to run correctly. My commandline is as follows: dump -0 -a -f /mnt/backup_drive/ad0backup/main_backup11_03 -h 0 -L -u / Will a command like this dump the entire file system for me for later restore should a complete meltdown happen?
