Cool. That is probably your answer Jan. > it does not matter that it's mounted. True. Unmounting massively reduces the chance of unexpected modifications during dumping. Such as cron/at/batch jobs, etc.... When a machine is shutdown(8) to single user mode, even /var/log, /var and /usr can be unmounted for a clean dump, newfs & (partial) restore. /home and many other parts of /var can be umnounted once the relevant daemons are stopped, and isn't too troublesome to script & cron. > At any rate, the negative block numbers seem wrong. Perhaps that's something for the tech@ people to investigate? Cheers, -- Craig Skinner | http://twitter.com/Craig_Skinner | http://linkd.in/yGqkv7
