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? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
