With 4.0-RELEASE, vinum apparently no longer offers both block and
character device interfaces. This seems to confuse dump (though mount
and fsck are unfazed and newfs needs the -v option).
Consider this excerpt from /etc/fstab:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump
Pass#
/dev/vinum/faithful /faithful ufs rw 2
6
Now see what happens when I try to run dump:
Snivey# dump 0f /dev/null /faithful
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed May 3 07:24:39 2000
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/vinum/rfaithful (/faithful) to /dev/null
DUMP: Cannot open /dev/vinum/rfaithful
Same story if I name the device instead of the mount point:
Snivey# dump 0f /dev/null /dev/vinum/faithful
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed May 3 07:24:55 2000
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/vinum/rfaithful (/faithful) to /dev/null
DUMP: Cannot open /dev/vinum/rfaithful
So how do you dump a vinum filesystem?
Thanks,
Bob
