compiler reordering that caused dump to sometimes get stuck,
especially while dumping large filesystems.

Print the ETA of dump being finished, rather than a cryptic delta
time. Also, if we have written more blocks than the tapesize, assume
that we are 99.99% done and that we'll be finished 'soon'.

For example, I can back up my home to three DVD+R[W]s as so:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on

green# dump -0 -L -C16 -B4589840 -P 'growisofs -Z /dev/cd0=/dev/fd/0' /home
in the .snap directory in the root of the filesystem being dumped.
Document that if the .snap directory is missing that it must be
created manually and that it should be owned by user root and
group operator and set to mode 770 before a live dump can be run.
of trying to directly create the snapshot itself. This change allows
users logged into the system as operator to run live dumps.
Note that dump no longer tries to create the snapshot in the root of
the filesystem, but rather in a .snap directory in the root of the
filesystem. The reason is that the operator is usually not permitted
to write into the root of the filesystem. The newfs command and
background fsck have both been modified to create a .snap directory
in the root of the filesystem, but if neither of these have been run,
then the .snap directory must be created manually by the superuser
before a live dump can be run. The .snap directory should be owned
by user root and group operator and set to mode 770.

has been called, since it points to a shared inode buffer that may
be overwritten. The two cases where `dp' was used incorrectly appear
to have been overlooked when "nodump" inheritance was first added
in revision 1.12.
This is reported to correct propagation of the nodump flag on
directories that are larger than one block in size.

1024-byte boundaries. For many years this was a reasonable
assumption. However, in recent years we have begun seeing
devices with 2048-byte sectors. These devices return errors
when dump tries to read starting in the middle of a sector
or when it tries to read only the first half of a sector.
Rather than change the native block size used by dump (and
thus create an incompatible dump format), this fix checks
for transfer requests that start and/or end on a non-sector
boundary. When such a read is detected, the new code reads
the entire sector and copies out just the part that dump
needs.

called -r but it takes 512 byte blocks instead of megabytes, and I felt a
megabytes specification would be far more useful so I did not use the same
option character.
This will *greatly* improve dump performance at the cost of possibly
missing filesystem changes that occur between passes, and does a fairly
good job making up for the loss of buffered block devices. Caching is disabled
by default to retain historical behavior.
In tests, dump performance improved by about 40% when dumping / or /usr.
Beware that dump forks and the cache may wind up being larger then you
specify, but a more complex shared memory implementation would not produce
results that are all that much better so I kept it simple for now.

live filesystem. To obtain a consistent dump image, dump takes
a snapshot of the filesystem and then does a dump of the snapshot.
The snapshot is removed when the dump is complete.
Also add an operator warning that the `L' option should be used
if dump is run on a live filesystem without the `L' option being
specified. The alternative would be to silently use a snapshot
any time that a live filesystem is dumped, but this change in
dump semantics seemed too drastic at this time.

only preallocates a small number of inodes. The dump program tries
to scan through all the allocated inodes on a filesystem which
causes bad behavior if they have never been allocated. Thus dump
must calculate the set of inodes that have actually been allocated
and scan only those inodes.
