On both systems, following the advice given inhttp://sourceforge.net/p/dump/bugs/157/ (created on 2012-06-21) works. That is, installing dump version b42 allows greater than 0 levels of backups to be successfully restored. In the case of Debian, I could restore a filesystem removing dump-0.4b44-1 and installing dump-0.4b42-1 downloaded fromhttp://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/d/dump/dump_0.4b42-1_amd64.deb. The filesystem to be restored is an ext4 one, formatted without the huge_file feature. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11.0.mini0 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dump depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.42.5-1.1 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcomerr2 1.42.5-1.1 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.74-7 ii libncurses5 5.9-10 ii libreadline5 5.2+dfsg-2~deb7u1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libsepol1 2.1.4-3 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii tar 1.26+dfsg-0.1 dump recommends no packages. dump suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Alessandro Selli<[email protected]> Tel. 340.839.73.05 VOIP SIP: [email protected] Chiavi PGP/GPG keys: B7FD89FD, 4A904FD9 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
