Bug ID: 234315
Summary: [patch] dump(8): Allow noninteractive multi-volume
dumps
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: noah.bergba...@tum.de

Proposed patch
Right now dump(8) requires the user to type "yes" into the console whenever it
switches to a new volume. This makes sense for tape drives but is a problem
when one wants to invoke dump automatically/noninteractively, e.g. from
cron(8). The pipecommand (-P) option could be a great solution (just invoke a
script that handles all the heavy lifting) but there's no way to turn off the
questions. Not even yes(1) can solve this as dump(8) always explicitly reads
from /dev/tty instead of stdin.
This patch simply adds a flag to skip the query.
