This is current/amd64.

After cleaning my machine I reconnected two of my disks in reverse;
what was sd0 is sd1 now, and vice versa.

I do nightly dumps of the filesystems,
starting with level 0 on early Monday morning,
continuing with incremental 1, 2 etc through the week.
Usually this means that the Monday dump -0 is big,
and the subsequent incrementals are relatively small:

> > [...]

Now, on the night after I interchanged the disks,
the dump -4 of sd1a (/biblio) is huge again; apparently,
dump -4 is dumping everything again.

Is this simply because /etc/dumpdates deals
with device names, as opposed to duids?
