I have the following entry in my /etc/fstab file: ... NAME=backups /backup ffs rw,noauto ...
This is for a removable USB drive which is used to store various backups (as suggested by the label!). Most of the time, the drive is _not_connected_ - I only plug it in when I am actively doing a backup. Previously, the backup drive was labeled with disklabel(8), and the fstab entry specified ``/dev/sd0e''. Everything was fine. But that old backup device failed [*] so I had to replaced it, and I decided to use gpt(8) labels instead. Now, the daily job complains with the following message: Uptime: 3:15AM up 2 days, 7:49, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 DUMP: can't resolve mount point NAME=backups (no match for `backups'): Nosuch process DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. This would seem to be generated by the following: if [ -s /etc/dumpdates ] ; then dump -W > $TMP2 fi This behavior seems sub-optimal to me! Should I submit a PR? +--------------------+--------------------------+----------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | p...@whooppee.com | | Software Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoye...@netbsd.org | | | | pgoyett...@gmail.com | +--------------------+--------------------------+----------------------+
