Since 2.4 kernel developers have said dump is broken on live filesystems. Has that situation changed? here's a link http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100275505720017&w=2 I'm a bit confused about the exact problem, some say the backup can be corrupted others say the filesystem can be corrupted, not sure if they are talking about the filesystem being backed up (seems unlikely) There's a often quoted linus message on the subject floating around. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
