With RELENG_5 from yesterday, as well from a week or so ago I'm finding that dump is failing. Must admit, this is the first time I've tried to run a backup since migrating from RELENG_4 to RELENG_5.

fsck -f / marks the file system as clean.

Any ideas?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] dump -0a -b 512 -f - / > /dev/null

The -b 512 (or other large values), seems to be the key to making it crash (on various inodes). Sometimes the error is "master/slave protocol botched" instead.


Until I find the cause, the workaround of "don't do that then" seems appropriate. At least it wasn't fs corruption ;)
