Package: dump Version: 0.4b45-1 Severity: normal Hallo,
using the option '-Q' to enable the Quick File Access doesn't work anymore in version 0.4b45. It did work in the previous version 0.4b44. A simple example of the error is shown here: vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ mount | grep root /dev/mapper/debian-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ sudo dump -0 -f /tmp/root.dump -Q /tmp/root.qfa /dev/mapper/debian-root DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Jun 7 18:38:42 2016 DUMP: Dumping /dev/mapper/debian-root (/) to /tmp/root.dump DUMP: Label: root DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 531036 blocks. DUMP: writing QFA positions to (null) DUMP: can't open tapeposfile DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ At first, I thougth that this error was also caused by the bug #826398, but at a closer investigation of the upstream source code changes, I found that the filename is probably not communicated to the correct variable. The NEWS file reports that the QFA code has been reorganized as a plugin.
