You're probably thinking of this message from Linus in 2001: http://groups.google.com/group/mlist.linux.kernel/msg/660b7d5e92dd7eb7 The soundbite version is this: "Note that dump simply won't work reliably at all even in 2.4.x... This is only going to get even worse in 2.5.x... Dump was a stupid program in the first place. Leave it behind."
