Dump *will* now make dumps of an ext4 without complaining using dump v0.4b41-6 (Jaunty)
Unfortunately, restoring the data shows that it's been corrupted somewhere in the process (either dump or restore). The data doesn't even remotely resemble the original. 100% reproducibility. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create an ext4 filesystem and mount on /mnt/test 2) Create a simple text file on the filesystem: /mnt/test/testfile.txt 3) "dump -0f /mnt/backup/testbackup.dmp /mnt/test" 4) mkdir /mnt/backup/test; cd /mnt/backup/test 5) "restore -rf /mnt/backup/testbackup.dmp" 6) inspect /mnt/backup/test/testfile.txt to see corrupted data. Dump should either correctly dump an ext4 or refuse to do so entirely. In the current state, it could be lulling admins into a false sense of security that their data is backed up. -- dump cannot dump ext4 partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325346 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
