Hi,
when backing up raw block devices, the device's size is not stored by
bacula; instead, the device node's size (0 bytes) is kept in the "LStat"
structure.
I'd suggest to update the file's LStat value when the file backed up was
a device rather than a regular file.
I can implement such a behavior for Linux; however, getting such
information about block devices is not a trivial task. Under Linux, one
would use the /sys file system. I don't have the slightest idea how to
accomplish such a thing under other Unices. Any interest?
Thx
Bastian
