Hey all, This just got sent to me from a fellow SysAdmin this morning: http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0104.3/0727.html Probably old news to many people on this list, but a few folks (like me) might be unaware. To sum it up in Linus' words: "Dump may work fine for you a thousand times. But it _will_ fail under the right circumstances. And there is nothing you can do about it." Not the kind of thing you want to hear about your backup system. Adios, Brian _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
