I set this and in fact it works. But that's strange compared to the other BSDs and Linux in which the nodump flags on a directory exclude the entire sub-tree. This also means that every time I want to dump a fs I have to reset the nodump flags for all the files in those directories I don't want to include as newer files won't keep that. > Also don't forget the '-h 0' flag fo dump(8) if you don't want any > backup at all on those dirs. I'm using this flag, but I didn't expect this non-recursive behaviour of dump. Thank you. D.
