Subject:   spontaneous reboot while dump -0uaLf - /var on a UFS2 FS in 5.0-RELEASE
Message-ID:  <1046178576.920.34.camel@hunter.muc.mscsoftware.com>

I just did a dump over the network via ftp using the command:

        put "|dump -0uaLf - /var | gzip -1" var.dump.gz

/var is a UFS2 FS with soft-updates, and the system is 5.0-RELEASE.

I got a short pause, maybe 5 seconds, and then the system rebooted
spontaneously.  I didn't see any messages, I was in X at that time.

I also didn't find anything unusual in the system log, but /var did
contain the following file after reboot and BG fsck finished:

        -r--------   1 root    wheel   2097152000 25 Feb 10:56 .dump_snapshot

I repeated the same dump after the system was back up (after removing
the snapshot), and all went well this time.

Does this sound like a known problem?
