Hi
If I have the wrong list please feel free to redirect me. I'm running 7.0-RELEASE-p4 and trying to backup to an external USB drive. I'm using the following command dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a Where df: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/mfid0s1a 507630 208436 258584 45% / /dev/da1s1d 709513458 9853800 642898582 2% /backup The following processes start 75399 p0 I+ 0:00.04 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a (dump) 75402 p0 S+ 0:00.71 dump: /dev/mfid0s1a: pass 4: 77.05% done, finished in 0:00 at Wed Oct 8 08:25:06 2008 (dump) 75403 p0 S+ 0:00.85 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a (dump) 75404 p0 S+ 0:00.96 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a (dump) 75405 p0 S+ 0:00.86 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a (dump) But it just stops at a random percentage, the system continues to run and the processes are killable? Perhaps I'm using dump incorrectly if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated.
