The dump program operates on file systems. So if you put / and every subtree onto one partition, you can use dump to dump that _whole_ partition (no matter if it's a MBR or GPT partition). In contrast, if you only want to dump /var or /usr, and those are separate partitions (not on the same file system as /), then dump will work as intended. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
