This is absurd advice. If the command line asked to dump "/usr/", then "/usr/" would have appeared in the diagnostic. Since the actual message quoted here said "/usr", then this clearly shows there was no trailing slash on the name. It is true that dump (stupidly) doesn't work if you do put a trailing slash on the directory name, but that's not the problem in this case. -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
