 I am running the command using sudo on Ubuntu 8.04.  However, this is
 some kind of special file/directory that even root can't rename (use
 mv command) or chmod u+w.  It has zero bytes, unlike a symbolic

 If I try to rm -rf it, there is a Device or resource busy message.

You might want to use ls -lO to see if any special chflags have been set 
to prevent the deletion of the files or directory.  From man ls(1):

  -O  Include the file flags in a long (-l) output.  the chflags(1) 
options show up as - or + signs.

I'm using FreeBSD but, I think, Ubuntu supports the same ls(1) options.

[flexbackup-help] dumping a Live filesystem

[Tim Kellers]

I tried searching the archives but the search function isn't working for 
me right now.

How would I make dump actually do a dump -L on a live filesystem?  I 
created a shell script (dump.sh) that calls dump -L and placed it in the 
configuration file as a replacement path to dump, but I'm still getting 
warnings from dump about the -L flag not being set.

My OS: FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE

Thanks in Advance
