Hi.


        I was wondering why vdump tries to backup /proc when I tell it
to backup /. It doesn't try to backup any other file systems !


        I use the command:

/sbin/vdump -9 -uCN -f nrmt0h /


        and I get:


budev="rmt0h"
budevrw=/dev/$budev
budevnrw=/dev/n$budev
        $dmpcmd -f $budevnrw $fs

path : /
dev/fset : root_domain#root
type : advfs
advfs id : 0x2f2dc886.00073910.1
