The dump -W or -w modes no longer appear to work with dump 0.4b33. I've traced it down to changing dump to look in /etc/mtab before /etc/fstab. My /etc/mtab file looks like this: /dev/hdc1 /home ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/hda2 /usr ext2 rw 0 0 While fstab has lines like these: LABEL=/home /home ext2 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 The fstab files does have the fs_freq value set to 1, but for some reason mount doesn't preserve fs_freq or fs_passno when it creates entries /etc/mtab. This confuses dump, which now thinks I don't want to dump any filesystems. I've observed this behavior with mount 2.10f, 2.11n and 2.11g. For dump -w usage, it seems like looking just in /etc/fstab would make the most sense, since /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts always have fs_freq set to zero, which makes dump -w pointless. |
