And what about consistency when i backup a mysql partition at runtime? but my most wondering is abot this: bunka ~ # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 135G 11G 125G 8% / but the saved dump shows: bunka ~ # ls -lh /var/backup/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.4G May 20 17:29 root2.dump why is there such a great difference between df -h and the stored dump? can you give me some enlightment? thank you marko -- zbfmail - Mittendrin statt nur Datei!
