Which one of those are you referring to? > How can I reproduce the issue? Notice only one of those has a *package* *name* of "dump" and the utility itself is "/sbin/dump" (and it is executeable). Sample invocation of `dump` might be `dump -u0 -f fs_dump.0 /dev/loop0` and then `dump -u1 -f fs_dump.1 /dev/loop0`. Examine the output of `file fs_dump.0` and `file fs_dump.1`. The dates for the previous dump and current dump are swapped (for the level 0 is is reporting the epoch, "never", "none", or "No previous dump" would be better). Also noticing for the level 0 is is reporting "Level zero" instead of "Level 0". -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
