The program should check for read-only filesystem status and omit the warning in that case. 2) The techno-grammar in the warning is unnecessary. Change it to "WARNING: Use -L when dumping live filesysterms!" (my favorite) or "WARNING: -L should be used when dumping live filesysterms!" or "WARNING: One should use -L when dumping live filesysterms!". ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
