in cases where the supplied name was already pointing to a character
special device. This fixes the breakage that occured when trying to
dump a filesystem by name (e. g. /usr), with an fstab already
mentioning the raw device name (like /dev/rda0g) where dump attempted
to use /dev/rrda0g then.
Also removed the now obsolete remark that fstab were carrying block
special names.
so that dumps are treated by dump -w as having been done on midnight
of the day they were actually run. This makes dump -w behave as
expected for regularly scheduled daily dumps - if they all run the
same day. It makes dump -w behave strangely if you dump late in the
day and check again after midnight, but that is the lesser of two
evils.
