Dump an Unmounted Journaled UFS Filesystem

Hi,

I understand that using dump is not currently recommended on a mounted
journaled UFS2 filesystem.  I prefer to boot from a separate FreeBSD drive
for cold backups anyway, so I'm wondering if there are any issues with
running dump on an unmounted journaled filesystem?  All the discussions
I've seen seem to focus on disabling journaling completely, which I would
like to avoid.

Thanks,

Dan Plassche
