The commands I'm running are: # dump -0au -b 10 -f /dev/nrsa0 / # dump -1au -b 10 -f /dev/nrsa0 / The same thing appears to happen on /usr & /var, but if I set up another filesystem like /bkroot everything seems to work as expected. Any ideas why this is happening? Cheers, Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
