xfsdump parameters not working



Hi Folks;

I am using the following xfsdump command to dump system backups to 650m files 
so they will fit on CD.  xfsdump does not seem to be creating individual 
files but rather a single file.

xfsdump -d 650 -f usr.xfsdump.3-30-2002 -l 0 -p 30 -L "Usr Dump 3/30/2002" -T 
/usr

Creates a 2.4G file

also I set the SGI_XFSDUMP_SKIP_FILE attribute on each of my dump files so 
that I could backup the partition that the dump files were on and xfsdump did 
not ignore them at but gave the error:

xfsdump: WARNING: could not open regular file ino 99652 mode 0x000081a4: File 
too large: not dumped

any ideas?

Joe
