Hello,
currently I am experiencing something confusing. Some hours ago I did a
level 0 dump with the following command:
dump -a -0 -f /mnt/da0/backup-compaq.0.dump /
This results in a quite big dump file. After changing a couple of files,
I tried to do another dump. This time as level 1. My expectation was
that the resulting dump would only contain the files which changed since
the level 0 dump.
dump -a -1 -f /mnt/da0/backup-compaq.1.dump /
To my surprise this seems to generate another full dump instead of
incremental.
What did I miss or what mistake do I make?
The filesystem is mounted with the following options: ufs, local,
journaled soft-updates
Regards,
Matthias
