That I believe was what I needed, thanks Jon. The exclude was not mentioned anyplace, so I started at the disklist and found I had specced the no-excludes version of the dumptype for both / and /boot. I think I have it fixed now, if the exclude is in the right place for the client to find it. I'll find out reading the log tomorrow morning before I go see my baby. She was sitting in the lounge chair when I got back in this evening, and made it to the middle of the house to go and pee, with the help of a walker and an assistant, so IMO it looks good. Or have I not mentioned she fell & broke a hip Monday afternoon? Its been a slight bit blurry about since. Nice clean break, knocked the ball of the ball joint off the end of the hip bone, so the surgeon removed the ball, and put a new rod and ball on the end of the bone. Easy job for him. I knew it was going to happen sometime, no way around it when there is no more padding on the bones than she carries. I do mean none, 85 lbs on a 5'6" frame, wringing wet and a box of 30-06 ammo in each hip pocket. COPD does that to a body. Dammit.
