Dump gives a strange dump summary if file system is not mounted - is this required or a bug ?
To illustrate in my disk list: tx5019 /mnt /dev/lofi/2 comp-root STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- tx5019 /mnt lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [tx5019:/mnt level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/sbin/ufsdump sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/sbin/ufsrestore -xpGf - ... sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end ? Unable to create temporary directory in any of the directories listed below: ? /tmp/ ? /var/tmp/ ? / ? Please correct this problem and rerun the program. | DUMP: Date of this level 1 dump: Mon Jul 19 13:40:30 2010 | DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Mon Jul 19 13:36:28 2010 | DUMP: Dumping /dev/rlofi/2 to standard output. | DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files] | DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories] | DUMP: Writing 32 Kilobyte records | DUMP: Estimated 326 blocks (163KB) on 0.00 tapes. | DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories] | DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] | DUMP: 190 blocks (95KB) on 1 volume at 9500 KB/sec | DUMP: DUMP IS DONE | DUMP: Level 1 dump on Mon Jul 19 13:40:30 2010 sendbackup: size 95 sendbackup: end If file system is mounted dump works as expexted.
