Hi there,

I'm still on 5.6 release & with traditional /dev/ entries in /etc/fstab.

Thinking about DUIDs & my dump scripts & 5.7 being released soon,
does dump with DUIDs dump the raw character device, or the block device?

$ ls -l /dev/rsd0h /dev/sd0h
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   7 Apr 13 21:13 /dev/rsd0h
brw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,   7 Apr 13 21:13 /dev/sd0h

/usr/src/sbin/dump/main.c notes:
/* Convert potential duid into a device name */
But I don't know how to read the C code.... Sorry.


My scripts currently pseudo:
[maybe stop daemon(s)]
sync
[umount or remount readonly, if practical: Not with /, /var, /var/log!]
insert the 'r'
dump the character device
[mount rw]
[start same daemons]


Any experience appreciated.

Thanks!
