Hi! I've had some problems with dump(8) lately. A 800 GB SSD partition on a raspberry pi 4b (via USB) that is 50% filled had trouble with dump. I don't know why this could be, but it used to work.
Here is my backup script that I used to run in my "nodump" chflagged /home/pjp/Backup directory. Notice the old behaviour, which is hashed out. For some odd reason the not so large dump's have seemed to make it. -----> #!/bin/sh umask 027 dump -0ua -h 0 -f - / | gzip -c > vega-root-backup.dump.gz dump -0ua -h 0 -f - /var | gzip -c > vega-var-backup.dump.gz #dump -0ua -h 0 -f - /home | gzip -c > vega-home-backup.dump.gz find /home -type f -print > filelist.txt find /home -type f -size +8000000000 -print > excludelist.txt fgrep -v -f excludelist.txt filelist.txt | cpio -oz -H pax > vega-home.cpio.pax.gz echo These files were excluded from packing with cpio format pax: cat excludelist.txt exit 0 <---- I actually haven't run this script yet since I did all of these commands manually on the command line but they are 100% compatible.
