| |
Hi Folks,
I was looking for some scripts to backup ext2 partitions to multiple CDR's when I stumbled onto "cdbackup" at http://www.cableone.net/ccondit/cdbackup/.
Alas, there is a warning saying:
"WARNING! When using this program under Linux, be sure not to use dump with kernels in the 2.4.x series. Using dump on an ext2 filesystem has a very high potential for causing filesystem corruption. As of kernel version 2.4.5, this has not been resolved, and it may not be for some time."
I don't recall any problems like this, does anyone have additional comments?
Regards, Lew Wolfgang
