Description Eric Sandeen 2008-04-28 22:13:15 UTC

dump/restore won't open an ext4 filesystem.  Need to investigate what all it'll
take to properly support ext4 in dump/restore.

[root@inode ~]# dump -f /mnt/foo/mydump /mnt/test
  DUMP: Date of this level  dump: Mon Apr 28 17:11:13 2008
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda8 (/mnt/test) to /mnt/foo/mydump
  DUMP: Unsupported feature(s) 0x40 in filesystem
/dev/sda8: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) while opening filesystem
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

I haven't yet looked at dump to see how much fs-knowledge it needs for the
traversal etc.

Thanks,
-Eric

dump-0.4b41-9.fc10.i386 does not fail for me on ext4 filesystems.  It finishes successfully with all the usual messages and generates an apparently valid dump with correct metadata, but all the file contents are corrupted junk (presumably stuff from elsewhere in the filesystem).
