Synopsis: dump fials for dumping subdirectory State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: joerg State-Changed-When: Sun Oct 12 14:46:00 MEST 1997 State-Changed-Why: It seems to be intention that dump(8) only accepts the root of a filesystem. This can be argued about, but most people who specify a subdirectory would expect it to dump data beginning right at this subdirectory, so the suggested change is IMHO counter-intuitive. If someone would offer a patch that makes dump(8) work on subdirs, i certainly wouldn't mind...
