I found dump -L needs writable permission to the device (that's reasonable because it *writes* snapshot file). But when I try to dump by operator group, it's impossible to dump with -L option (target device has root:operator and crw-r-----). This behavior is understandable. But in actual backup operations, what should we do? I'd like to hear what you thought in design. (1) Do dump as root with -L option. (2) Do chmod g+w for device. (3) Other ideas? -- Jun Kuriyama // IMG SRC, Inc. // FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
