If your "always-full" dumptype uses tar and not some dump program it is fine. If always-full is using a dump program I believe that the disklist entry has to be the root directory of a file system or the device name for the file system. In the case that /tmp is a separate file system (my solaris system has this) your disklist is fine for either program. -- Jon H.
