Any progress here? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in 7.1 latest, or should we start looking for different backup solution (in this case I would suggest to remove dump from the source tree - having a backup tool that doesn't work is worse than having none). After upgrading we basically cannot backup our servers. Shouldn't this issue be on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/errata.html? cheers michael

Now, you honestly scared me. Actually I noticed some regression with dump/restore since 6.x and 7.0 (I reported some bugs, but I don't think there was much concern about them). I don't get why nobody cares about this, I think having a reliable backup is one of the most important things. Now I'm honestly a bit scared about it (even if it will be fixed before 7.1, I'm not sure I'll hurry with the update). -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk Scandisk is now checking your hard drive.

At 1GHz, I think that this easily qualifies as an "older, slower, non-smp host". -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
