This is a known issue upstream and is corrected in version 0.4b42. See bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511651 for more details. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use dump to backup an ext4 filesystem 2.move into a different computer 3.attempt to restore in an ext3 filesystem Actual Results: Files produced are not identical to original files. Several text files are now reported as binary. Expected Results: Should produce a correct image of initial files in the new filesystem. Or at the very least dump should NOT allow ext4 filesystems to be used until it is properly working on them. The main issue is that dump will not complain about ext4 partitions being dumped. Thus the problem is encountered later (too late) on when one attempts to restore the filesystem. Version 0.4b42 should resolve this issue by dealing with ext4 filesystems correctly thus restoring dump/restore functionality. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
