I just did a dump over the network via ftp using the command:
put "|dump -0uaLf - /var | gzip -1" var.dump.gz
/var is a UFS2 FS with soft-updates, and the system is 5.0-RELEASE.
I got a short pause, maybe 5 seconds, and then the system rebooted
spontaneously. I didn't see any messages, I was in X at that time.
I also didn't find anything unusual in the system log, but /var did
contain the following file after reboot and BG fsck finished:
-r-------- 1 root wheel 2097152000 25 Feb 10:56 .dump_snapshot
I repeated the same dump after the system was back up (after removing
the snapshot), and all went well this time.
Does this sound like a known problem?
