I get that. It's not that important to me, to see the mount points. I can live
without it. I think "dump W" meant more to historic operators who used to run
dump to tapes, and needed to know which backups had been taken.

I highlighted it because dump doesn't seem to be decoding the DUIDs in the
/etc/fstab for the "dump W" output. This goes into the daily maintenance email
and looks kind of broken. I don't know if it's a roadmap item to add DUID
decoding to "dump W". It might not be worth the trouble.
