You cannot use dump on a read/write mounted fs - the kernel does not keep writes from the fs coherent with the block device you read from (eg, /dev/hda0). You must at least mount the fs read-only. Also, dump only supports ext2, last time i checked, and may not support newer options such as directory hashes. GNU tar is what i use (with the -g incremental option). -- Tom Vier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSA Key ID 0x15741ECE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
