ReiserFS does not have a "dump" program, nor are there any plans to implement one. The Reiser team's stance is, "Why should every filesystem implement their own backup/restore utility, when generic ones already exists?" I generally agree with that. Of course, since ReiserFS is Open Source, some third-party could implement dump for ReiserFS independently, but I see that as fairly unlikely. Personally, I think effort spent writing a dump for ReiserFS would be better spent fixing GNU tar to span long file names across tapes. ;-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
