Hello list! Cca 2 months ago I switched to ext4 on all of my machines/partitions and has been a very happy customer ever since. Except one little thing... Dump/restore is not working on ext4 filesystem. Actually... it's even worse, it appears that it's working, but if you try to restore files, only garbage gets restored. Obviously wrong fs blocks are dumped (or restored) rendering backup completely useless. As this could be bug in e2fslibs, I'm reporting all versions relevant: Distribution: Debian sid Kernel: 2.6.28 Linus virgin (FS made with 2.6.28-rc9) File system: ext4 (w/ extents, w/o xattr) e2fsprogs: 1.41.3-1 dump: 0.4b41-6 And I'm slightly dissapointed that there's so little users of dump, it has a feature set that I can't replace with any other backup system (I tried). Or is it maybe that ext4 is slow to adapt? This was also reported as Debian bug #511651 a month ago, but without any progress so far, so I decided to report it to this list, too (I'm not subscribed). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511651 Thanks for any help you can provide! -- Zlatko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
