Modified files:
sbin/dump dump.8 main.c
Log:
Add the `L' option to dump to notify it that it is dumping a
live filesystem. To obtain a consistent dump image, dump takes
a snapshot of the filesystem and then does a dump of the snapshot.
The snapshot is removed when the dump is complete.
Also add an operator warning that the `L' option should be used
if dump is run on a live filesystem without the `L' option being
specified. The alternative would be to silently use a snapshot
any time that a live filesystem is dumped, but this change in
dump semantics seemed too drastic at this time.
