Sorry to keep going on about this but restorable back up is V. important 
to me!

In man dump(1) is mentioned -h and the nodump flag. My problem is that 
badsect files seem to corrupting my dumps i.e. I'm checking with restore 
if and I'm getting inode errors on the fs with the badsect file.

Quite simply how can I stop dump from dumping the badsect files? Does 
this 'nodump' flag do this.

3rd time lucky,
