I'm not terribly opposed to this, but OTOH I don't see why it's necessary. The slowdown only occurs if you set nodump on a directory. With the old behavior, this wouldn't do anything useful (AFAIK), so if you have nodump on a directory, you probably expect the new behavior. The latter has a problem with taking more time than it should (I think it actually takes the same amount of time as dumping everything under the nodump'd directory would). In other words, the only thing that's broken is the new feature. > chflags nodump /usr/ports ; dump 0hsf 0 1048576 /dev/null /dev/ad0s1f > -- this takes 38 minutes to finish Phase II for version 1.10.2.1 of > src/sbin/dump/traverse.c ITYM 1.10.2.2 Regards Dima Dorfman dima@unixfreak.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
