Was working my way through dump and was going over what the
-L switch is used for. I guess one would use this when you
are dumping a mounted file system correct?
Here's what I've been trying to do, dump all of / without
dumping /tmp, /proc, /mnt, and /entropy. I've already
learned to use the nodump flag with some help from a list
member and now I want my dump to run correctly.
My commandline is as follows:
dump -0 -a -f /mnt/backup_drive/ad0backup/main_backup11_03
-h 0 -L -u /
Will a command like this dump the entire file system for
me for later restore should a complete meltdown happen?
