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).
