Hi!
I have a 1.2TB UFS2 filesystem with irrecoverable corruption. As such, I
must move all 500GB or so of data off of it and re-newfs it.
Does anybody know whether dump/restore can gracefully handle filesystem
corruption, or will it happily back up and restore said damage to the
pristine filesyst

/net and /host are populated by the NFS automounter daemon present in
freebsd 4.x. My (ancient) 4.11 dev server has the same, enabled by an
option in sysinstall.
Accessing hosts and shares within these directories will, in theory,
trigger the automounter daemon

If you wish to exclude the disks completely, you can try generating a
