Are there any files or directories in FreeBSD that have the nodump flag set
by default?  I have two big directories into which I copy the contents of
drives on another system as an extra backup, but I don't want to save them
when I do a dump, so I've set the nodump flag on the directories, and I run
the dumps with -h 0 (all the dumps are level 0 dumps, since the total amount
of space used on the machine--minus these two directories--easily fits on
one tape).  I want to make sure that nothing else is being skipped when I
specify -h 0 besides the two directories that I want to skip.

Also, are there other ways to tell dump not to save a specific directory?

Finally, I seem to recall that there is a way to find files with specific
flags set, but I can't remember what command does this.  If I remember
correctly, can someone remind me which command allows this to be done?
