Did that and sure enough, there it was. Dump error on /dev/hda2. Why? Reiserfs is not dump-able? News to me. Argh!!
Neither would be the subdirectory /etc in ext[23]... Dump cannot do subdirectories (some can, but then they cannot do incrementals); use gnutar.
I have changed the disklist to do tar.
tesla.hackermonkey.com /etc user-tar
Only now I get the error
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: tesla.hack /usr lev 0 FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump]
Im assuming this is because I had tried, and failed, using dump before, and now I need to 'clean out' the database records? How do I reinitalize it back to 'this is the first backup you'll ever do' state?
