I noticed that my backups stopped working over Thanksgiving break. The cause turned out to be that the format of `dump''s informational messages has changed to add the qualifier `tape ' in front of references to `blocks'. Given the fact that almost everyone who does any sort of large-scale backups has written lots of wrapper scripts which attempt to parse the output of `dump', I think this format change is inadvisable, and I intend to reverse it unless someone speaks up with a good reason to keep the superfluous verbiage. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
