System: NetBSD speedy.whooppee.com 9.99.84 NetBSD 9.99.84 (SPEEDY 2021-06-09 18:05:06 UTC) #0: Wed Jun 9 20:58:57 UTC 2021 paul%speedy.whooppee.com@localhost:/build/netbsd-local/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SPEEDY amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
The dump(8) command, with the -w or -W command line option, fails "hard"
if there is a line in /etc/fstab with NAME=label in the first field and
no partition currently exists with that name. This causes the entire
scan for filesystem-needs-dump to abort, rather than reporting on the
remaining partitions.
Note that if the partition is specified as /dev/sd0 the operation will
succeed even if the specified device does not exist. It would be
useful if dump(8) would treat a missing NAME=label similarly.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
